A Big Thanks to Our Volunteers
Did you know that National Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 10 – 16? Volunteers impact all aspects of the patient experience from greeting at the front door, escorting patients and visitors, working on units, rocking babies, delivering mail, baking cookies and much more. You can thank them through your actions, including, sharing a hug or warm smile and getting to know them.
