The National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC) is now accepting applications for its 2020 Board of Directors Nominations. The NAFC’s 13-member Board seeks candidates committed to its mission of caring for America’s medically underserved and the organizations who serve them.
“Our nation’s free and charitable clinics are a vital component of our healthcare safety net. The work done at the local and state levels broadens access to care for individuals and families across our country,” said current Board Chair Dr. Bobby Kapur, Chief of Emergency Medicine at Jackson Memorial Hospital. “The Board and the NAFC are strengthened when the voices and ideas from the frontlines guide our Association’s efforts. Just as you serve our patients each day, we are looking for leaders to serve on the NAFC Board and dedicate their efforts to our local mission at the national level.”
Applications must be submitted by July 31, 2019 at 5pm Eastern time.
