I think Project Access Northwest is really the essence of compassionate charity. You help patients who are interested in getting better. Maybe down the road they get a job and are more settled. Maybe they become interested in paying it forward. I think volunteering sets in motion a series of events that are good for society as a whole. The effect is felt further and wider than the individual doctor and individual patient.
Volunteering can have widespread, positive effects.
