Volunteers sought for hospital project

THE Mid-Western Regional Hospital is launching an initiative to recruit volunteers to assist and support members of the public when visiting the hospital.

The hospital is looking for volunteers from all sections of the community, aged 18 years and over, to take part in the project. Training and support will be provided.

A hospital spokesperson said: “The main role of the volunteer will be to provide a friendly welcome and reassuring first impression to all who enter the hospital and to assist and guide visitors and patients to the various wards, departments and clinics in the hospital. The volunteer services will be provided in the main reception area, outpatient department and other areas, as required.”
