Physician Volunteers Needed: Join PCC in Making a Difference |
Physicians CareConnection (PCC), an affiliate of the Columbus Medical Association, is a volunteer-based charitable organization providing coordinated medical care for vulnerable populations in Central Ohio—including those who are low-income, uninsured, underinsured, underserved, and documented or undocumented immigrants.
Through their services, patients experience improved physical and mental health, easier access to care, and a reduction in emergency room visits.
PCC is currently seeking physician volunteers to help continue this vital work. Volunteers can choose how they provide care—either by seeing patients at their clinic or by committing to care for them in their own offices. If you’re interested in learning more, please respond below, and a PCC volunteer coordinator will follow up with additional details.
