Seattle Clinic

The second annual 4-day Seattle Clinic will be offered at the Seattle Center in late October.  Last year about 3500 people got free medical, dental, and vision care (including glasses) thanks to 1500+ volunteers.  They need medical types and support staff (escorts, check-in folks, etc).


Here is a short video about the event last year  https://vimeo.com/124850873

To register, go to http://volunteers.seattlecenter.org/


Be aware that volunteers need to start at 5 AM and the shift goes to 6 PM or later.  This doesn't sound so bad when you realize the patients line up at 10 PM the night before and wait all night to be admitted.  

You get a free t-shirt and lots of good food. Plus it's really fun.

I inquired about having HT offered but haven't heard back yet.

I am signed up for Oct 23 & 24. I have room for several people to stay if you are from out of town.  Be aware that I have cats.

If you have any questions, contact me at cebrug@gmail.com
