Witham Health Services celebrates National Volunteer Week. Amy Mitchell, Manager of Volunteer Services, noted it is a special time for Witham to recognize and thank our volunteers for the significant contributions they make to the hospital each day by generously donating their time, talents and commitment to our patients, staff and the community at large.
Mitchell further noted Witham volunteers are often-times the first and the last point of contact Witham patients and guests have while at the hospital, making them an important part of the patient experience. The Witham volunteer team consists of more than 80 individuals, with over 31 volunteers currently working across 16 different departments and locations throughout the campus, including Pastoral Care.
Volunteers not only provide an important presence in the hospital, but also contribute to cost savings for the organization, Mitchell said. Witham Volunteers also conduct several fundraising events throughout the year to support the Volunteer Organization Scholarship fund for Boone County Seniors pursuing a continuing education in a health related field, as well as to support various fund the need initiatives for the hospital, and also support and run the Waterfall’s Edge Gift Shop.
We are thankful for our Witham Volunteers and the important role they play in the patient experience and helping the hospital to achieve its mission, vision and values. Please join us in recognizing Witham Volunteers during National Healthcare Volunteer Appreciation Week, April 17-23, 2022.
