Keeping Community Care Moving in San Diego

In San Diego, California, Champions for Health is working to close healthcare gaps for uninsured adults living below the poverty level. Through nearly 30 community wellness events each month and a network of more than 2,000 medical volunteers, their mission depends on one thing: coordinated action.

From immunization clinics and blood pressure screenings to mobile mammography events and health education speaking engagements, every event requires the right volunteers in the right place at the right time.

With SignUpGenius, that coordination happens in one organized hub — making it easy to mobilize their “health champions” quickly and efficiently.

Mobilizing 2,000+ Medical Volunteers with Confidence

Volunteer Coordinator Andrew Gonzalez uses SignUpGenius to organize and communicate with volunteers across a wide range of clinic events. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, email chains, and manual follow-ups, his team can:

• Create clear, detailed sign ups for each event
• Share event information and expectations upfront
• Track volunteer commitments in real time
• Engage volunteers in a user-friendly platform

The result? Volunteers arrive informed and ready to serve — and the administrative lift stays manageable, even at scale.

As Gonzalez shares, the platform has become an essential part of how Champions for Health supports its mission and serves the community’s most vulnerable residents.

Responding Quickly When the Community Needs It Most

When unexpected health crises arise, speed matters.

During San Diego’s Hepatitis A outbreak, Champions for Health needed a fast, organized way to connect residents with clinic opportunities. SignUpGenius made it simple for community members to register for clinic events, helping expand access to care and reduce the risk of infection and hospitalization among high-risk individuals.

Instead of scrambling to manage registrations, the team focused on delivering care.

Stronger Engagement, Smoother Operations

Beyond logistics, Champions for Health has seen a noticeable lift in volunteer engagement and satisfaction. Volunteers consistently describe the platform as easy to use — a small detail that makes a big difference when coordinating thousands of busy medical professionals.

With scheduling streamlined and communication centralized, the organization can dedicate more time and energy to what truly matters: ensuring San Diegans have access to the healthcare they need.
