Volunteers with medical background needed 

Volunteers are needed at Milwaukee’s free medical clinics, said Mark P. Behar, one of the Chronicle’s readers. 

Behar was inspired to reach out when he read a Chronicle article last month about local volunteers crocheting mats for the homeless population of Milwaukee. 

“I have been a volunteer in the medical clinic at Repairers of the Breach for several years and was unaware of how we’ve acquired these mats!” he said. Behar is a retired physician assistant and LGBTQ activist.  

Those with a medical background, some time to spare, and a hunger to complete some mitzvot can get more information about volunteer opportunities at wifc3.org.

Staff rotates through medical clinics. Here’s a photo from June 17 at the Repairers of the Breach clinic, 1335 W. Vliet St., with (left to right) J. S. Bethea, LPN and podiatry nurse; Paula Harrold, medical assistant; Mark P. Behar, PA-C, clinical physician associate/assistant; and Vincent Cox, clinic manager. Only Cox is employed here; the rest are volunteers!
