Dr. Lynne Carmickle named 2017 Volunteer Honoree

Somerville, NJ (June 1, 2017) – More than 100 volunteers who give their time, talents, and energy to Zufall Health were honored recently at the Third Annual Volunteer Appreciation event at the Bridgewater Marriott Hotel. The volunteers provide a wide range of supportive services at the nonprofit community health center which offers affordable medical and dental care to patients in six New Jersey counties.

“If it wasn’t for the committed corps of volunteers who supported the health center in its early years, we wouldn’t exist today,” said Eva Turbiner, Zufall’s president and chief executive officer. “We are most grateful to all our present-day volunteers for their dedication and tireless efforts which help Zufall fulfill its mission to improve the health of the communities we serve.“

This year’s event paid special tribute to 2017 Volunteer Honoree Dr. Lynne Carmickle, a board-certified neurologist, who is a valued volunteer on Zufall’s Dover medical staff.

“It has been my sincere pleasure to be part of the Zufall Health family and work with an organization that now provides more than 35,000 patients with much-needed services and programs,” said Dr. Carmickle.
