We are excited to highlight Dr. Rhiannon’s work and share her reflections on working with Doctors Care.

What made you want to volunteer with Doctors Care?

I knew Doctors Care had a reputation for providing high-quality primary care for underserved populations, and wanted to be a part of that.

Will you share a quick story about an experience you had while volunteering? 

The volunteer coordinator, Jana, is such a wonderful person.  During two separate times that I have had to be out sick, she has twice brought me creations of her truly gourmet home-cooking, which certainly speeded my recovery. Doctors Care is truly a family.

If you were speaking to someone about Doctors Care, why would you encourage them to get involved with the organization?

The staff/colleagues I get to work with are truly amazing individuals: empathic, caring, and extremely competent. Everyone at Doctors Care seems to care more deeply for the patients we see, as well as for other staff, than any other workplace I have experienced. It is such a privilege to be associated with Doctors Care.
