Volunteer quotes
I gained knowledge about what being an 'underserved population' actually means, I learned about disorders I didn't know existed, and I learned how to be an effective member of a medical team.

Medically licensed health care providers give Casa the ability to offer quality medical services at a low cost through in-person and telehealth visits.

We provide interpreters so you can communicate with every patient and medical scribes so you can focus on patient care. Our greatest needs are for:
-
Internal medicine physicians, cardiologists, gynecologists, and urologists
-
Mental health professionals
-
Registered nurses for in-clinic and at-home visits

Friends of Casa are community members who want to help us fulfill our mission beyond the clinic. They are ambassadors for Casa who meet after work hours, help with friendraising, community awareness, and our fun events such as Trivia Night and Zocaloco.
As a Friend of Casa, you will meet other Friends after work hours to have fun while you help with friendraising, community awareness, and Casa’s 2 yearly events – Trivia Night and the Zocaloco gala. It’s a chance to make social connections with like-minded professionals who are committed to promoting access to health care for people who are uninsured and underinsured in our community.
