Medical and Non-Medical Volunteers Needed
Platte Valley Medical Center is currently seeking medical and non-medical volunteers on Saturday, April 12th to help carry out the nation’s largest and most respected community health program. These teams of medical and non-medical volunteers will help provide free and low-cost health awareness and educational screenings at PVMC’s 9Health Fair site on Saturday, April 12th.
Medical volunteers, such as phlebotomists, nurses and emergency medical technicians (EMT) are needed to deliver the 31-component blood chemistry screening at all 9Health Fair sites. Other medical screenings that need medical support include blood pressure, fasting finger stick glucose, lung function, hearing, prostate/ testicular screening, foot, Pap smear, skin, breast exam, mental health screening and more. Medical professionals for “Talk with a Health Professional” screenings are also needed.
Non-medical volunteers are also needed to help 9Health Fair participants register, check forms, direct traffic flow, conduct height/weight/body mass index screenings, vision, cashier and much more.
New This Year! For the first time in over a decade, the 9Health Fair in Brighton will be a one-day fair, instead of two days. It will also be held in the brand new Platte Valley Medical Center, which will accommodate a steady flow of participants from 7 a.m. – noon.
Every year, approximately 19,000 people volunteer at 9Health Fair throughout the state. To become part of this community health effort in Brighton, or for more information regarding the 9 Health Fair please call Peggy Jarrett at 303.498.3590 or email her at pjarrett@pvmc.org
