Congratulations to Tom on receiving a Heart of Gold! 💛
Tom was recognized by a grateful patient for the warmth, friendliness, and positive presence he brings as a volunteer at Bluewater Health.

“He is a very friendly and well-liked guy and does a great job at the hospital. Both my wife and I have had a great experience at Bluewater Health. All the staff are friendly, welcoming, and seem to be happy in their jobs. Not an easy task when you’re dealing with many different experience and talent levels. Good work.”

Thank you, Tom, for the time, dedication, and welcoming spirit you share with patients, families, and staff.

Through the Heart of Gold program, patients and families can honour a caregiver, volunteer, or staff member with a donation to Bluewater Health Foundation.
