• What are the benefits of being an SOLF provider?

Answer- SOLF takes the guesswork out of your pro bono service. SOLF conducts a rigorous application and screening process to ensure all patients are qualified, motivated, and appreciative. SOLF closely monitors patients for compliance issues to ensure you have a positive experience. SOLF also provides excellent marketing benefits to all providers to help brand them as caring, community-minded businesses. SOLF provides each practice with a starter kit to display in their office, showcasing their community involvement with SOLF. Partner providers are listed on the SOLF Provider Directory that includes a link to their practice website in an effort to drive additional families to their website and ultimately, their services. Lastly, we highlight providers in more traditional marketing initiatives such as SOLF advertisements, articles, press releases, e-newsletters, print collateral, and social media channels like Facebook and Instagram.
