Daniel Cosby Dentist — The Numerous Benefits of Volunteering

Daniel Cosby DDS is dedicated to helping support the bedrock of his community through volunteering. As a dentist, he knows the importance of serving others to help his patients feel happier and more successful, and this extends past the workplace. He knows that volunteering is important for both the community and the individual volunteer for the following reasons:

  • Volunteering helps people develop new skills that can prove to be useful both professionally and personally. Being placed in unfamiliar situations, whether it’s building a house, working with students, or helping to develop a new community program, these experiences can expand your worldview in a way that directly impacts your daily life.
  • Giving back to your community can help keep you healthier. With numerous manual labor opportunities, it’s easy to keep yourself moving and active while also supporting healthy brain function. Volunteering has been shown through the Corporation for National and Community Service to lower depression and mortality rates while increasing functional ability.
  • Serving as a volunteer can support those who wish to switch careers by providing them with useful experience and insight to prepare for the transition. Making the commitment to building the skills helps prove the point to future employers that you are dedicated to radically changing your career.
  • Volunteering can strengthen social bonds and create a sense of purpose, increasing the opportunity to exhibit love openly.

Daniel Cosby Dentist DDS is a highly esteemed dentist in his community who is always looking for ways to give back, such as RAMM, a free dental clinic to support people living in rural areas.
