As a parent of a hospitalized child (many years ago), I well understand the stresses and worrying that parents of hospitalized children experience. It is a joy for me to volunteer with hospitalized children. I enjoy seeing them smile and their parents also. Playing games, reading stories, just schmoozing with the children and parents gives me much pleasure.�

I really believe that volunteering at Sinai has kept me going and kept me well.

    Dora, volunteer coordinator for First Grader Program

Why do I volunteer? It�s because I really love what I do! Working in the PACU   
(Post Anesthesia Care Unit) or Recovery Room has afforded me the opportunity to help others and learn so much about medicine and patient care. The nurses, doctors and medical staff are my friends and I�m treated as one of the team. Being a people oriented person, this position suits me to a tee. That�s why I volunteer at Sinai and am coming up on my 20th year of service.�
    
    Harry, volunteer in PACU

I love volunteering because I use my office skills in two departments. I volunteer because the experience has helped me make new friends and improve my computer skills.�

    Beth, volunteer in Human Resources

My motivation came from knowing I would get community service hours. My dedication came from seeing how much my help was appreciated. My completion comes with the knowledge and skills I have gained. Thank you Sinai for giving me the most priceless feeling: accomplishment. I truly feel that I received more than I gave.�
