Free Clinics coming to Hartford, sign up to volunteer

The National Free Clinic Association is coming to Hartford February 3rd. Care will be provided to anyone who needs it, without payment, from noon to 7pm at the CT Convention Center. The Association has held massive one-day free clinics around the country, bringing desperately needed medical services to the uninsured and great publicity to the issue. The Association also provides on-going support to the many permanent free clinics around the country, including about half a dozen in CT, that do this important work every day. They are currently seeking volunteers; you don’t need a medical background. They need clinicians, but also translators, people to escort and register patients, and help the nights before and after to set up and break down. To register click here.
