Volunteers in Medicine Clinic Registration

On Wednesday January 29 from 1:30-4, we will be registering residents or employees of Daufuskie Island for the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic at DI. It will take place at the Helmus Center just to the left of the back gate of Haig Point. We will have at least 3 VIM staff set up with multiple computers and a scanner so that we can register as many people as possible. If someone is already a registered patient at the Hilton Head VIM clinic, they are already registered for here as well. To register, you must bring some form of ID such as a driver’s license, passport, visa, or student or national ID. Your total family income must be below 300% of the US Federal Poverty level. You must show proof of income including disability, social security payments, retirement benefits and actively working. Bring 2 of the most recent pay stubs, and an income tax return for all wage earners in the home. If you do not pay taxes, you will sign a form stating that you do not pay taxes.

We will also be registering residents as volunteers for the VIM clinic. We definitely need more nurses and physicians to register as volunteers. We need non medical volunteers as well to help with getting some patients to appointments, and helping deliver medications to people’s homes once they are delivered on the HP ferry each week. We will also need volunteers as interpreters. The good news is you can register to be a patient at the clinic and also still be a volunteer other times.
