As an organization, Virginia Mason Medical Center believes strongly in providing outreach through a few different avenues. They provide respite care to the homeless population around the Seattle area and they have their Access Northwest program that provides specialty care services to community clinic patients. If you have direct experience working in an outreach type of setting, be sure to bring that up to your interviewer. If you don't, be sure to expand on why these types of programs are important. To really nail this question, give your interviewer the impression that you are open to opportunities to provide outreach care if it is warranted in the job you are interviewing for.

"During my time working in Orthopedic Surgery, the surgeon I operated with did outreach to some smaller Oregon clinics that had operating capabilities for minor procedures. I really liked the travel aspect of the job to be able to meet other remote clinic colleagues as well as being able to meet the needs of patients that would have likely gone without their procedures because of travel to our home hospital. The patients in these locations were often the most grateful for our services and that always brought a big smile to my face."
