Volunteering means more than one can imagine to our patients and I will love to assist future volunteers in making a difference our patients' life.
We deliver with heart.
A warm smile. A kind word. A friend’s hand to hold your own. These seem like small things, but they can make the difference between someone who is merely receiving care and someone who feels truly cared for.
