OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE

Recognizing the unique, God-given talents each one of us can offer is important and there are a variety of ways to use your gifts in service at Siloam Family Health Center. Siloam's volunteer program offers clinical and non-clinical opportunities to those with an interest in serving the neediest in this community.

One Siloam Volunteer tells about her experience, "It is a blessing for me to be a part of the Siloam team. I have benefited far more from my time spent there than anything I've done for any of the patients or staff! I'm amazed at how God is softening my heart toward people from other cultures and walks of life that I once would have felt very different towards."

Another says, "I have witnessed Siloam's staff continually reflect the love of Christ through compassion. I have witnessed many patients transformed by this and they leave with more peace and dignity than when they arrived."

A Volunteer Interpreter has this to say of his experience, "Siloam has given me an anchor in Nashville for the past three years. As a volunteer interpreter, I feel blessed to be able to be a voice for Spanish-speaking patients and many times to be able to get to know patients on a personal level. And it is this personal connection that keeps me coming back to the clinic - whether I'm discussing school immunizations with a mother or blowing bubbles with a toddler scared to get a shot, I feel that both sides are learning from the other and are gaining a new level of mutual respect. My Nashville would not be the same without Siloam."
