A Big Announcement!
As many of you may know, Lorena Montalvo has been with us from the beginning in 2013. Working as translator and receptionist, Lorena has steadfastly served as the face of Mercy Clinic for our neighbors.
Starting this July, Lorena assumes the role of Administrative Coordinator, our first full-time employee at the clinic. Lorena will handle all of our day-to-day administrative needs, coordinate volunteers, and continue to schedule appointments with our patients.
Congratulations, Lorena!

Share this link with your friends, and take a moment to leave Mr. Schmick a comment about how grateful we are that he chose to write about us!
