Volunteering at NEFSH
Volunteer Services is anxious to be of assistance to all areas of our
hospital. Psychology Interns, Religious Volunteers, various Nursing
Organizations and student groups are regularly involved in volunteering at
NEFSH. We are expanding our opportunities to partner with organizations in
the community to offer volunteer service to our clients and the staff that
serve them.

Presently we are working with a Jacksonville based business that is
encouraging it's employees to give volunteer time to NEFSH. They have
assisted with one of our large mailings. Their help allowed staff to
accomplish the task in about 4 hours in one day as opposed to working the
mailing into three regular business days. A group of nurses has requested
that our nursing department use advanced students to assist them. Nursing
is looking at ways it can use these volunteers. A musical group has
volunteered to bring their group to entertain the individuals we serve at
NEFSH. Details are being worked out to incorporate the musical group
into
one of our evening activities.
Perhaps your area has an opportunity for volunteers to serve. Volunteer
Services will be glad to assist you. Let me know what your opportunities
are. I need to know what will be required of the volunteer, how long the
task will take, when and where the service needs to be rendered and what
skills you would like the volunteer to have.
You may be knowledgeable regarding businesses, schools or corporations that
are looking for places to volunteer. I would love to know about them.
Please get me a name and number.
