Volunteers at Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center are special people, called to this service of healing — where the gift, the power and the worth of one person's care for another is as important as the technology we use in the healing process. Volunteers have been providing support for staff, patients and their families since 1968. They work under the direction of the volunteer director or a member of the professional or nursing staff and serve in almost every area of the medical center.
