Volunteer Spotlight: Howard Rappoport, DDS
In its early days, Zufall Health depended on the help of many volunteer providers who were friends of Dr. Bob and Kay Zufall. Today, this spirit of volunteerism endures in individuals like Howard Rappoport, DDS. Rappoport did not discover the health center until the end of his 40-year career in private practice, when his late wife suggested he join as a volunteer dentist. More than a decade later, he says his volunteer service has been profoundly life-changing.
