Giving Back Through Care — The Power of Volunteerism in Free Clinics

Join us for an inspiring conversation highlighting the vital role of Free Clinic Initiatives (FCI) in delivering free, quality primary care to underserved communities. Through the dedication of volunteer physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals, FCI not only eases the suffering of the uninsured and underinsured but also helps save millions of dollars by reducing unnecessary emergency room visits.

This webinar will explore the personal and professional impact of volunteering with FCI—whether you’re a medical student, resident, or practicing physician. Hear firsthand how giving your time and expertise enriches your training, broadens your perspective, and strengthens your connection to the communities you serve.

Panelists:

• Dr. Larry Severidt, MD: A physician who actively provides care through an FCI, Grace United Methodist Church Free Clinic, sharing what it’s like to volunteer on the front lines of community health.
• Wendy Gray, MS:  Executive director of FCI and works across multiple sites to ensure patients receive timely, compassionate care, offering insight into the broader impact of volunteerism.

Whether you’re considering volunteering for the first time or looking for ways to deepen your engagement, this session will leave you with practical takeaways and renewed inspiration to give back through care.
