Volunteer With Us

TISO is supported by volunteer medical professionals who are committed to helping patients and families better understand complex medical diagnoses and treatment options. Our volunteers play an important role in providing thoughtful insight and clarity through a structured second-opinion process.

Volunteers do not provide direct medical treatment, but instead offer guidance, education, and perspective to support informed decision-making.
