Catherine Johnson
Regional Program Coordinator
Volunteer Health Care Provider Program
(561) 671-4032
The program supports volunteer efforts
throughout Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach
County Health Department Regional
Coordinator works with Department of Health
entities, community, and faith based health
care providers to promote access to quality
health care for the medically underserved
and uninsured residents of Florida through
the commitment of volunteers.
The Volunteer Health Care Provider Program,
s. 766.1115, F.S., allows private licensed
health care providers to volunteer their
services to the medically indigent residents
of Florida with incomes at or below 200% of
the Federal Poverty Level and be under the
state's sovereign immunity. Through a
contract, a provider can be designated an
"agent of the state" and have sovereign
immunity for uncompensated services rendered
to clients determined eligible. Under this
program, providers have the option to
volunteer in freestanding clinics or to see
eligible clients in their private offices or
corporate facilities.
