Phoenixville Free Clinic
The Phoenixville Free Clinic provides free primary and specialty medical care, behavioral health, and laboratory services to uninsured adults in the greater Phoenixville area, from its building at 143 Church Street. Patients must be uninsured, live in Chester County, and fall within the clinic's income limits. A small staff runs the clinic alongside volunteers who fill both clinical and non-clinical roles — reception, records, interpreting, data, and facilities — on weekday half-day shifts.

Ways to help here
Facilities Maintenance
Help keep the clinic's building in working order. It is an old building and a small staff, so practical, hands-on help goes a long way.
⏱ Flexible; most clinic hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm
Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner
See clinic patients as a CRNP. Requires a current, applicable clinical licence.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Ancillary Healthcare Provider
Contribute allied health skills to the clinic's care team. Requires a current licence or certification applicable to your profession — contact the Volunteer Director to talk through where your discipline fits.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Project Support
Take on specific projects for the clinic as they come up, rather than a fixed weekly task. Suits someone who wants to be useful where the need is greatest at the time.
⏱ Varies by project; most clinic hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm
Scheduling & Records
Help the clinic book patient appointments and keep medical records in order. A behind-the-scenes, non-clinical role for someone organised and comfortable learning new software.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Specialist Physician
See clinic patients in your specialty — care that uninsured patients otherwise go without. The clinic names podiatry, ENT, and neurology among its current gaps, and welcomes other specialties. Requires a current, applicable medical licence.
⏱ Weekly or as arranged — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Behavioral Health Provider
Provide behavioral health care to uninsured patients through the clinic's behavioral health service. Requires a current, applicable clinical licence.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
PXV Field Day Volunteer — Sunday, September 20
Help run PXV Field Day, the clinic's annual fundraiser: a throwback field day where teams of six compete at tug-of-war, relays, and other grown-up playground games, in costume. Volunteers keep the games moving on the day — no medical background needed, and it is a single Sunday rather than an ongoing commitment. Every dollar raised goes to free care for uninsured neighbours.
⏱ One day — Sunday, September 20, 2026
Primary Care Physician
See uninsured patients for primary care at the clinic. Requires a current, applicable medical licence.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Phlebotomist
Draw blood for the clinic's on-site laboratory services. Requires a current, applicable licence or certification.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Front Desk / Reception
Staff the clinic's front desk, welcoming patients as they arrive and supporting check-in. A patient-facing, non-clinical role that suits someone friendly and dependable who is comfortable with computers and takes patient confidentiality seriously.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Interpreter / Translator (Spanish)
Interpret for Spanish-speaking patients during visits and help translate clinic materials. This is one of the clinic's most persistent unmet needs — a large share of patients are more comfortable in Spanish, and the clinic has struggled to reach bilingual volunteers through its usual channels. Other languages are welcome too.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Business Office Volunteer
Support the clinic's business and administrative operations. Non-clinical office work for someone who likes keeping the back end of a small nonprofit running.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Data Entry & Analysis
Enter and analyse clinic data — the numbers behind grant reporting, service tracking, and the annual report. Good fit for someone comfortable in spreadsheets who wants their volunteering to compound.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Volunteer Office Support
Help the Volunteer Director run the clinic's volunteer programme — scheduling shifts, tracking hours, and keeping volunteers in the loop. A role for someone organised who enjoys coordinating people.
⏱ Weekly, half or full day — shifts run 8:30am–12pm and 12:30pm–4pm, Monday to Friday
Nurse / Medical Assistant (RN, LPN, EMT)
