Shelter Health Outreach Program (SHOP)

SHOP aims to (1) provide meaningful, hands-on clinical volunteering experience by training and commissioning volunteers to provide free blood pressure screenings at Philadelphia soup kitchens through direct patient contact, and providing referrals to free clinics in populations previously unaware of such options for follow-up care. The second and equally important pillar of SHOP is to (2) foster a meaningful internal community of volunteers through a volunteer cohort system and consistent social events.
