History:
In 1885, Gouverneur made history by becoming America's first public hospital to establish a tuberculosis clinic.

A century later, Gouverneur established Project HELP, the first psychiatric mobile crisis unit for homeless, mentally ill individuals.

Overall Experience   
Great

I volunteered in Dental department last summer. I was highly impressed on Mr. Yu who helped me to make a process. He made an every effort to meet my interests in volunteering. I am willing to continue volunteering this summer, too! posted by geshek on May 2, 2008
