A Patient Advocate is the backbone of our work at the clinic and requires you to meet with our patients, assess their immediate needs, share the Gospel, and present them with their options in a loving and nonjudgemental way. You will be required to complete our training and we ask that our advocates commit to one appointment time on any day that they can volunteer. This allows you to see a minimum of 1 patient/week, and helps us to schedule appointments and keeping track of who comes in when. Appointment times generally run about 2 hours, so it ends up being about a 3 hour commitment/week minimum. For any questions, please reach out to julie@blueridgepc.org.
