National Volunteer Week | Thank You SAH Volunteers
This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate the incredible volunteers who make Sault Area Hospital a warmer, more welcoming place every day. With over 400 volunteers contributing more than 30,000 hours of service, their impact is felt by countless patients, families, and visitors across our hospital.
From wayfinding and information services to 50/50 ticket sales, inpatient and outpatient patient support, baby cuddlers, the Community Closet and Pet Therapy—featuring six incredible dogs—our volunteers support us in countless ways. They also serve as Patient and Family Advisors and Board Members, drawing on their lived experiences to help shape programs and initiatives that improve care and enhance the patient experience. Quite simply, our volunteers do it all.
We’re also proud to welcome nine high school co-op students, helping to inspire and shape the next generation of caregivers and community leaders.
Above all, our volunteers add a vital human touch—making hospital experiences a little less stressful and a lot more welcoming.
Thank you for your compassion, dedication, and commitment. We truly couldn’t do this without you.
