Our Volunteers
At Service Link, our volunteers are the heart of our mission, bringing diverse expertise and a shared commitment to improving health outcomes. With volunteers from a wide range of academic backgrounds—ranging from nutrition, biology, and neuroscience to healthcare management, bioengineering, and philosophy, politics, and economics—we are able to connect patients to critical community resources that address the social determinants of health. Each volunteer contributes their unique perspective and skills, helping to create a more holistic, supportive environment for those in need.
