Our volunteers

It takes a village! Although WelcomeHealth has two full-time and nine part-time staff members, it takes an army of volunteers to pull of our mission on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. We have a village; we have an army. We have a list of approximately 40 professional volunteers and 20 lay volunteers who give their valuable time and expertise to make our clinic a success.

Dr. Jim Norys serves as the medical clinic director and Dr. Terry Box as the dental clinic director.

Both of these professionals not only have a combined 30+ years of experience volunteering at WelcomeHealth, but they also lend their expertise in equipment purchases, medical/dental procedures and staffing/policy suggestions.

 

Dr. JB Hays founded our dental clinic in 1988.

To this day, we can find him volunteering during our Thursday evenings extraction clinic. He has also been known to stop in to educate and visit with the students periodically. Everyone loves Dr. Hays, and many students attribute their success in dental school to him.

**Dr. Bill Roberts also worked alongside Dr. Hays to start the dental extraction clinic!

 

Volunteer medical and dental specialists offer their services at WelcomeHealth.

On the medical side, most are either scheduled once a month or as needed to assist with endocrinology, gynecology, pediatrics, physical therapy, pulmonology, neurology, or mental health. On our dental side, we have oral surgeons along with other dentists and hygienists who assist during the evening extraction clinics. Prescription services are administered by pharmacists from Collier Drug Stores and Walgreens Pharmacy.

 

Pre-med and pre-dental students volunteer their time to gain experience before they apply for medical or dental school.

It is a great compliment when our student volunteers return as professionals to volunteer after they graduate from medical or dental school. We have several dentists and doctors who have done this over the years.

 

Besides medical related volunteers, we are always seeking individuals with marketing expertise, photography skills, website and graphic design experience and event advisors.
