Hal & Del

Rosenwasser

While we’ve talked about the

health benefits of

volunteering, perhaps we could

make the claim that it also may

contribute to a long marriage!

Hal and Del volunteer together

at the Information Desk on

Saturdays.

… and everything in between

On your entire YRMC Volunteer Journey

Always - Always - Always -

We Appreciate You!

Caught in the Act …

We enjoy reading the many TEAM Awards volunteers receive and thought we’d share the

sentiments from a couple of recent ones:

“She entertains the family members who are

stressed out and scared with wonderful stories.

She is so kind and a blessing.”

“The volunteers in our department are all friendly,

courteous, helpful, informative and GREAT people.

We need you – keep up the great work.”

What you do is noticed & appreciated!

Partners in Caring Program

A volunteer recently saw someone with

a Partner in Caring Badge and

inquired about what the badge

meant; therefore, we thought we’d

offer information on this program.

This program was developed to

encourage our patients to select a

family member or friend to provide

additional support during their hospital

stay. The Care Partner can act as a

second set of ears by being included, as

much as possible, in discussions about

diagnosis, treatment, medications, or

follow-up care. The Care Partner

becomes involved in activities that

support the emotional, physical,

educational and spiritual needs during

the healing process. While performing

in this capacity, they wear a badge

which alerts the staff of their role and

they receive a discount in the cafeteria.

Like so many other

programs, our

volunteers like Yvonne

Gerber, pictured here,

have a role in supporting

the program by putting

together packets and

delivering them to

patient care areas.
