For my service learning project, I am interested in volunteering at one of the Harris County Health Clinics, particularly at Ben Taub. The reason I chose one of the Harris County Health Clinics to volunteer at is because I have firsthand experience knowing what patients that are under the government hospital system have to go through since my family and I are under the Harris County Health District as well. I will be able to better empathize with patients because I know that often times they have to wait a long time before they get appointments to see the doctor, to get treated, and to get test results back. Since I have seen things from the patient perspective, volunteering for Ben Taub will allow me to see things from the hospital staff’s perspective. By offering my services as a volunteer, hopefully I will be able to increase the overall quality of patient care, even if it is indirectly and thus, gain satisfaction.
