A different way to volunteer: Clinic repairs and upgrades

Everyone knows that we always need medical providers, interpreters, and front desk volunteers at CrossOver. But, sometimes we need help in other ways. Recently, we had two volunteer groups come in on their weekend to provide some much needed repairs and upgrades at both of our clinics. Thank you Third Church and West Richmond Rotary Club for all of your hard work! Third Church On Sunday, February 18 th , a mission team from Third Church descended upon CrossOver’s Richmond Clinic with spackle, paintbrushes, and toolboxes. This team, made up of adults and children, repaired holes in the walls, touched up scuff marks, spackled “dings” in the walls, and gave the clinic a gentle facelift. Too often when we are in the midst of our daily work, attending to our patients, things happen. A small child sits in his chair and kicks repeatedly at the wall, a staff member bumps the paper towel dispenser and it dislodges, the old plumbing twists and turns and the sink begins to drip. We keep our heads down and plug on with our busy days not noticing these things. When a group quietly arrives on the weekend, and fills the holes, re-hangs the dispenser, tightens the valves, and paints it all up again, they make our work environment a nicer place to be for us and our patients.

West Richmond Rotary Club

A week after Third Church upgraded our Richmond Clinic, The West Richmond Rotary Club spent their weekend at our Henrico Clinic doing some construction. As we grow we always look for better ways to utilize our space. In one weekend the Rotarians completed three major projects. They took out two partial walls in what used to be a storage closet that will now be the new nurse’s office. Then, they removed built-in shelves from the current nurse’s office. This will now become two lab spaces, allowing us to use our current lab space as an added clinic room. Finally, they put a door in an office allowing access from an interior hallway rather than through the main conference room. Their efforts save us both money and time as we strive to open more spaces to better serve our patients.
