Meet One of Our Amazing Volunteers! (English version below)

Hollis sabe lo que es tener miedo de ir al médico.
De niño, ayudaba a su abuela a recoger latas para vender y así pagar su insulina. Años después, tuvo que traducirle a su papá un diagnóstico de cáncer en etapa 4. Nunca había visto a un doctor por miedo al costo.

Ahora, Hollis es voluntario en Clinic by the Bay, ayudando a personas trabajadoras y sin seguro médico a recibir atención gratuita y con respeto.

En nuestra clínica ofrecemos atención médica de calidad sin costo para adultos sin seguro. Estamos aquí para usted.

Hollis knows what it’s like to be afraid to see a doctor.
As a child, he helped his grandmother collect cans to sell so she could buy her insulin. Years later, he had to translate a stage 4 cancer diagnosis for his father, who had never seen a doctor because of the cost.

Now, Hollis volunteers at Clinic by the Bay, helping hardworking, uninsured people get free, respectful care.

At our clinic, we offer free high-quality medical care for uninsured adults. We are here for you.
