University collaborates with HandsOn Greater Phoenix

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Arizona State University Research Enterprise (ASURE) is seeking non-clinical volunteers to fill over 900 openings in support with an upcoming Yuma COVID-19 Vaccination Site. ASURE is partnering with HandsOn Greater Phoenix to both register and schedule volunteers.

Volunteers are expected to aid with checking in patients, confirming data and offering logistical support. All tasks require standing/moving for the majority of the shift.
