VOLUNTEERING AT PARKWOOD HOSPITAL
 Introduction to Volunteering
Volunteers enrich and enhance the quality of life for patients and residents of Parkwood Hospital and Western Counties Wing. They provide the extras that the hospital would not otherwise provide, and perform tasks that allow the professional staff to focus more of their time on patient care.
World Statement on Volunteering
Volunteering makes a better world and it is an important value for all societies. It enhances the human potential and enriches societies through the involvement of human resources. Giving of oneself to others, stimulating social responsibility and building human solidarity are age-old traditions.
