Immediate need for interpreters.
Americares operated four free clinics in Fairfield County in Norwalk, Bridgeport, Danbury and Stamford. Our mission is to provide free quality health care to low-income, uninsured residents in a setting where all patients are treated with dignity and respect. By partnering with local hospitals and Quest Diagnostics for donated laboratory and diagnostic testing, and by relying upon a hybrid paid and volunteer staff, we are able to provide free primary care to the working poor. Since, 1994, we have provided more that $155 million in medical care to 28,000 patients
The AmeriCares Free Clinic of Norwalk needs volunteers that are fluent in Spanish and English to assist doctors and nurses in interpreting our patients needs. Interpreters are an integral part of the clinics' volunteer staff. Come be a part of our medical team serving the low income, uninsured residents of the Norwalk area.
Volunteers usually work one 3 hour clinic session weekly or one or two times per month. All interpreters will be given a language assessment exam prior to starting in the clinic.
