Organization
Greenville Free Medical Clinic is a non-profit organization in the upstate of South Carolina. It consists of two locations in Greenville, as well as locations in Simpsonville and Greer. The clinic provides free health care to uninsured people.

Process
The non-profit organization was choose to be an upstate health clinic. This allowed one member to actually go to the office to meet with one of the clinic’s staff. After the meeting, a proposal was set. The group researched the history of the organization, determined the needs, and set goals. There were few project constraints to consider because the goals were within the limit of the group. A website and pamphlet were created to meet the needs of the clinic. The group collaboratively revised the documents and made any needed changes.

Goals
The goals for this project were simple. The clinic needed a website that was easy to understand. This site also needed to provide information. The clinic wanted to get more people involved in the community. This would be accomplished by making it possible to sign up to volunteer online. An online donation system was also needed by the clinic. My group member and I decided that a health pamphlet would be a good way to promote better health in the area. All of these goals were achieved by the end of the project deadline. If more time was allowed it would have been possible to create a Q&A, but time did not allow for this due to the clinic not having any available Q&A.

My Contribution
My main contribution to the group was developing the website. It consists of six web pages: Home, History, Locations, Donate, Volunteer, Contact Us, This website allows someone to donate, find any of the four locations, submit a form for volunteering, find out information about the clinic, find out the hours of the clinic, or leave a suggestion if they wish. I made the site so that it is easy to navigate from page to page with the link box located on the left hand side. Each page is consonant with format, which gives it a uniform feel. I also pick the non-profit organization and meet with a member of the Greenville Free Medical Clinic to ask what they thought was most important. This allowed me to easily assess the needs of the clinic. Both group members reviewed every part so that best possible solution could be obtained.
