In the last four weeks, I have been volunteering at San Jose Clinic. I have actually volunteered at this clinic last year through the summer. The new location looks amazing and I was astonished at the transition. The first time I walked into the new clinic, I actually recognized familiar faces. Samantha Sherman was there to greet me and show me around the clinic. There are three stories to the building and it is a major upgrade compared to the old clinic. Although, I did like the old location since it was right across from Minute Maid Park! It was a good feeling to see how far the clinic has come. Since the clinic has expanded, Sam said that there are more people expected to come for medical services. And with the increase in patients, there is actually a need for more doctors and nurses. Thus, I expect the clinic to be busier than before! And I feel that my time spent volunteering here is going to be well worth it.

The first task that was given to me was actually an ongoing project that the clinic started last year. Two classmates and I removed medication from their boxing and placed multiple trays into one box to conserve space. By the time our shift was up, we actually finished the project.
