Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Screeners have a very important role at the clinic. As the screener, you will be the first person the patient meets. It is important to be professional and welcoming. Screeners interview new patients in the Walk-In Sessions (Adult Walk-In on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings). The screener completes a form with the patient's demographic information and has the patient sign the Consent form. Confidentiality is very important.

Accuracy and legible handwriting/printing are very important, as is confidentiality. Must be at least 21 years of age. Must be fluent in English and Spanish.
