Long Beach Stand Down Clinic- Volunteers Needed

Long Beach City College is hosting a two-day “Veterans Stand Down”

April 11th - 12th (Wed/Thurs). 

?Lots of different service providers will be there to help out (primarily homeless) veterans in need.

Healing California (www.healingcaliforniacharity.org) will be there providing dental care to the veterans, and we’re hoping the Society can help us alert any of your member dentists who might be interested in volunteering at this event.

It’s an incredibly fun and rewarding experience – the veterans are so grateful for the help - and our organization’s whole job is to make participating as easy and convenient as possible for the volunteers.

We provide all the equipment and supplies, logistical and whatever other support the volunteers need so the only thing they’re doing is taking care of patients. There’s no paperwork, no insurance forms or Medicare reimbursements. We can arrange morning, afternoon or full-day shifts for local professionals with these job titles: General Dentists, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, Dental Hygienists, Dental Assistants Dental Students, Registered Nurses, Licensed Vocational Nurses and EMT's

Sign-ups are quick and simple at www.healingcaliforniacharity.org. Again, we have morning, afternoon, and full-day shifts available for both days. This is a great way for your members to give back to those who’ve served our country and now need our help.

All our professional volunteers need to do is bring themselves and their expertise. All instruments and supplies are provided.

Date: April 11-12, 2018

Location: Long Beach City College
