Volunteers play an instrumental role in supporting our healthcare team to offer quality service to our patients and their families, by assisting with supplementary duties such as reading to patients, restocking of supplies, sorting files, assisting with the feeding of patients and any other miscellaneous non-clinical tasks which may be required.
