Free clinics
provide an array of medical services at little or no cost to low-income,
uninsured individuals in the United States and often rely heavily on volunteers
to offer healthcare services for free or at reduced fees.
The purpose
of this study is to explore volunteering experiences at a community free
clinic.
Five focus groups
were conducted at a free clinic with volunteers of the clinic (N=28) in
September-November in 2016. Thematic analysis was performed to identify themes
in issues relating to health, most urgent health issues, and ways to improve
services for the underserved populations.
