Happy National Volunteer Month! National Volunteer Month is celebrated throughout April in the United States to honor volunteers, encourage community service, and recognize the impact of selfless service. The entire month highlights how volunteer time, talent, and resources strengthen communities.
If you wish to promote and advance the welfare of UF Health Leesburg Hospital, volunteering is right for you! Our volunteers provide service to the hospital, patients and visitors as well as fundraising activities. They function in many rewarding capacities through service in areas such as the gift shop, information desks, patient floors, emergency room, waiting rooms and more. With decades of service under their belt, this dedicated group of volunteers provides thousands of hours of service to the hospital annually!
To kick off National Volunteer Month, we are highlighting Tina H, who has volunteered over almost 10 years! Tina volunteers in the Surgical Waiting Room and always provides a smile to brighten the day for our patients, guests, and team members.
