Volunteer Opportunity

Volunteers Needed

The Utah County Health Department’s Women’s Cancer Clinic

Annual Health Fair, The Celebration of Light,

September 30th and October 1st.

8:00 a.m.

Needed: 3- 5 student volunteers for each day to assist the staff.

If interested, for more information contact Rina Roy at (801) 851-7045

This is a great opportunity for students to have service hours and get involved with one of health programs that Utah County offers to the community.

This fair is targeted towards the medically underserved women of Utah County and offers a variety of free and low-cost cancer screenings and other health services that they may otherwise be unable to receive.  We are expecting about 250 women to come to this event.

The Celebration of Light is in honor of the women who have been affected by cancer, especially those who have lost the fight with this disease. Held in September and October, the fair is in support of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We know that through early detection, many lives could be saved.
