Health Mentors are cultural ambassadors and educators. You will help clients navigate the U.S. healthcare system, understand mail and bills, learn how to complete important forms, make follow-up appointments, order medical transport to appointments and guide them through the steps to catch the van when it arrives. The goal is to walk with them, not continually do for them. Each client’s story, personality, skills, background, and needs are unique, therefore each volunteer experience will be unique
