The Order of Malta, a religious organization founded during the Crusades, is recruiting medical workers to volunteer to help provide medical care for some 3,000 Hispanic Families through the Solidarity Mission Village in Atlanta, according to an
article in the Georgia Bulletin.
The volunteer medical workers will see patients using the Saint Joseph Hospital's Mercy Care Services mobile clinic, whose staff includes a certified medical assistant.
"It's an easy sale," Warren Stoughton, one of the organizers, told the Bulletin. "The medical community I have talked to is looking for a way to give back like this."
The Solidarity Mission Village was started nine years ago and provides an array of social services to the community. Opening a clinic at the facility was always part of the plan, according to the article.
Medical Assistants have the ability to help their communities in a number of important ways, acting as lynchpins for projects like the Solidarity Mission Village clinic. If working to provide needed medical help to underserved communities is something you would want to do, it might be time to look into training as a medical assistant.
