The Dr. Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic is so successful and effective thanks to its impressive corps of volunteers – we could not have the same level of impact without each and every one.
If you are a physician, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, chiropractor, medical student, resident, event planner, administrative master, grant writer, fundraiser, or human with a good heart, we would be honored to have your expertise and your generosity!
