| Volunteer options Thank you for your interest in becoming a Coos County Family Health Services volunteer. CCFHS has been providing health and social services to more than 15,000 patients in our 3 clinical sites. Over 30% of the CCFHS service area population lives in households with incomes less than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. We need your help--an hour or two of your time each week could make a big difference in the lives of our patients, not to mention their families.
