In turn, my role at Good Neighbor has also been quite flexible so far. With the uncertainties of each day and each visit, I have seen the importance of the staff’s flexibility and go-with-the-flow attitude. It might just be the USPS worker dropping off our daily mail, it could be our first patient of the day, a brand new patient, or even something a bit rarer (e.g., an unexpected visit from one of our patients suffering from schizophrenia or a patient suffering from emergent chest pain). Upon hearing these distinct sounds, I look up from my computer or paper and anticipate who will walk in. It is easy to hear when someone opens the clinic’s front door and takes the stairs up to the door of our waiting room. This summer was the perfect time to join Good Neighbor - there is always fresh energy in the clinic, and a consistent focus on improving our services. My arrival at the clinic came shortly after that of our new executive director, volunteer coordinator, and LNA.

With the support of generous community donations and talented clinical and nonclinical volunteers, Good Neighbor works tirelessly to care for the local community by serving a panel of over one thousand patients.

Good Neighbor is a primary care and dental clinic that offers free services to uninsured and underinsured individuals residing in the greater Upper Valley. This summer, I am volunteering at the Good Neighbor Health Clinic in White River Junction, Vermont.
