May 2025 Volunteer of the Month: Amber Anwar

Please join us in celebrating Amber Anwar as LVIM’s May Volunteer of the Month!

Amber has been volunteering as a Lab Assistant at LVIM for the past 10 months, generously giving over 189 hours of her time. Currently preparing to apply to medical school, Amber wanted meaningful, hands-on experience in a clinical setting—and found it here at LVIM through a simple Google search.

Amber was nominated for this recognition because of her consistent willingness to pick up shifts when help is needed and for her dedication to assisting Michelle, LVIM’s Healthy Living Coach, in planning and executing Healthy Living events. Her reliability and positive attitude have made her an invaluable part of the team.

What stands out most to Amber about LVIM is the environment. “You can tell everyone really wants to be here,” she shared. “People truly care about helping our patients.” Whether her work is patient-facing or not, Amber knows she’s contributing to something meaningful.

Volunteering has also been a refreshing change of pace from the demands of school. She said it helps her reset and feel mentally nourished.

To anyone considering volunteering, Amber says: “Just do it. Start small and do something you know you enjoy.”

We are so grateful for Amber’s heart for service, her initiative, and the energy she brings to LVIM!
