Position Description: HealthReach Community Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving as Iredell County’s only free medical clinic and pharmacy. We provide free medical care, lab services, mental healthcare, medications, and more to those who are low-income and uninsured in our community. We have been serving Iredell County for over 20 years, and we routinely work with student interns from Davidson College and other local colleges and universities.
