Become a volunteer
Editor:
Become a hospital volunteer. It is a worthwhile and fun way to give back. The patients and staff of Healdsburg Hospital appreciate all that we do with just a few simple tasks. For example, refreshing water pitchers, passing out menus and helping patients fill them out, running errands for the staff nurses and cafeteria personnel. We also man the gift shop located in the lobby and hold two bake sales annually with the proceeds going towards scholarships for hospital employees and their medical careers.
Both men and women are needed. If you can give just a couple of four hour shifts each month, you will be surprised how satisfying it is helping hospitalized neighbors as well as the hospital.
If you are interested, please call 707- 431-6500 and ask for the gift shop. You can leave a message with your name and number. You won’t be sorry. Volunteers are not paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.
