Report

As a clinic with limited resources, and operated solely by volunteers, the PNC has experienced many changes in its volunteer and leadership bodies. These changes occur usually during leadership transition and are often the result of volunteer initiative to expand the services and quality of those services offered at the clinic. Changes typically arise for one of four reasons:

Future Oriented—changes to expand and improve the clinic

Problem Solving—changes to adapt to challenges or issues

Division of Responsibilities—changes to appropriately balance and designate responsibilities

Volunteer Empowerment—changes to involve and empower more of the

volunteer body

This document outlines the changes that have occurred in the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic from 2007-2011
