"We have been blessed with a very sensitive, compassionate group of volun teers who have had a tremendous impact on lives of our patients. Their friendly smiles and kind words bring a sense of comfort to our patients." explained Lee Johnson, Patient Care Manager for Renal Dialysis Unit. "Besides visiting with patients, our volunteers provide refreshments, transport patients to and from the unit and make sure that our patients are comfortable. And they're always willing to lend our staff a hand." Volunteers should be able to work one half-day a week. "This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who has an interest in the health care field or who has a health care background," said Johnson. Joan Jeffery has volunteered in the Renal Dialysis for the past four years since its opening. "The main reason I volunteer is that I really enjoy the interaction with the patients. Over the years, I have gotten to know many of the patients and we've become friends. If I can make their dialysis experience a little easier, a little more comfortable and a little more enjoyable, then I feel I have done something worth while." x For more information on these and other volunteer opportunities at OTMH contact the Volunteer Office at (905) 338-4643.
