And recently, a small group were recognized for their dedication. Last week at Lakeridge Health Port Perry, 17 volunteers were presented with service awards. The Dec. 1 ceremony gave hospital officials a chance to thank those who give of their time to the hospital, said Connie Jamieson, head of human resources at the site. /This is an opportunity for us to recog- nife the fact that these people donate eir time to the community... that they come and work at the hospital on their own." Since 1979 volunteers have lent a hand to hospital staff, she said. "They work throughout the hospital...lightening the load for staff. A number of them work in rehabilitation, helping with physiotherapy which is great. They make the time pass quickly Ply Restaurant and Wining Lounge Canadian and Butch Cuisine in Downtown Port Perry We don't just cater to your needs...we care about them!

"They come along and help those who've had surgery, visiting them and talking, watering the flowers, helping with phone calls and writing letters and walks... "The great thing is that they see to the comfort of the patients; they bring a special dimension to the place," Mrs. Jamieson said. "They help out with the patients' social needs that our busy staff might not have the time to attend to. All the little things they do add up in the end." Nine service volunteers were honoured Tuesday, along with seven from the local hospital's gift shop. Proceeds from the gift shop are used to purchase new equip- ment for the facility. There are currently 126 people in the community who volunteer their spare time to helping out at the Port Perry hos- pital. "The volunteers are what make the hospital so great; I'm not sure what we'd do without them," said Mrs. Jamieson.
