As a volunteer for the Houston County Volunteer Medical Clinic, I discovered a wonderful resource for my community that I never knew existed. The doctors and nurses give of their time to see patients in the clinic. The atmosphere is warm and compassionate, and as a volunteer I know everyone I am working with is giving 100% for the people we serve.
