Review for VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE CLINIC, Springfield, OR, USA
I worked for Volunteers in Medicine Clinic as an intern while working towards my graduate certificate degree in Nonprofit Management. I also was a volunteer for the clinic in the eligibility department over a course of several months. I can not say enough how wonderful and compassionate the workers are at the clinic, as well as the numerous health care professional volunteers who dedicate their time. The organization is truly effective at providing extensive health coverage to unisured patients living in Lane County.

If I had to make changes to the organization I would only do so in updating their computer hardware. They are in need of updated computers and database management systems. However, the organization is structurally very sound and is incredibly well managed.
