Volunteer
Volunteers are always needed at His Hands Free Clinic. In fact, everything we do relies on the support and efforts of our volunteers! Common volunteer positions are described below. Check them out and see if we might be a good fit for your skills and passions. We also encourage interested professionals in related medical fields (EMT, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, etc.) to get involved.
For insurance purposes, our licensed volunteers must have personal liability insurance. If you don’t carry your own, you can get the appropriate coverage through the Volunteer Health Care Provider Program through the Iowa Department of Public Health. Contact us for more details.
