They help in countless ways by making a child giggle or an older person smile. They deliver mail, books or magazines to hospitalized patients. They comfort families who are worried about loved ones. Through deeds large and small, volunteers help patients and their families to feel better during difficult times. Patient Visitors Be a patient's pal.
Volunteers are welcome visitors for patients in the geriatric unit and adult cardiac care unit.
Whether reading aloud, playing cards, chatting, or providing support, visits from volunteers encourage healing and ease the patient's hospital stay. Surgery Waiting Lounge Families waiting for news of a loved one's surgery are often anxious. Volunteers in the Surgery Waiting Lounge help soothe tattered nerves and provide other assistance to patients' families. In our Toys R Us Playroom and outpatient waiting areas, children enjoy playing games and making art creations with volunteers. Playful activities offer kids a safe and fun escape from illness, tests, and treatments.
