Happy Healthcare Volunteer Week!

This week, we celebrate the incredible individuals who give their time, energy, and hearts to support healthcare in our community.

Our volunteers are often the first smile you see and the helping hands that make a difference in both big and small ways. Whether they’re greeting patients, assisting staff, or simply offering a kind presence, their impact is felt every single day.

A special thank you to our B*H Auxiliary, whose members go above and beyond in their service—supporting patients, staff, and hospital initiatives through countless hours of dedication and generosity. Their commitment plays a vital role in enhancing the care and experience we provide.

Because of our volunteers and Auxiliary, our hospital is a more welcoming, compassionate place for all.

To each of you—thank you. Your service does not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for all you do.
