Meet Nina McGarrahan, one of our volunteer Medical Assistants (MA)! Nina has been volunteering with SJNC since August 2025.

She shared one of the reasons why she loves volunteering with us is the staff and volunteer providers. "Everyone I have had the opportunity to work with at St. Joseph's has been very welcoming and passionate about bringing affordable healthcare to our community."

When asked what it means for her to volunteer for a place like SJNC, she responded, "I have the opportunity to better serve the community that I love, and to help my neighbors have access to high-quality healthcare in times when medical care is becoming increasingly unattainable."

We are so grateful to have Nina share her time and talent with us!

If you are interested in volunteering as a Medical Assistant, visit our Volunteer Page, https://www.sjncenter.org/volunteer, or email our Volunteer Coordinator, Mary Ann DuPré, madupre@sjncenter.org.
