VolunCHEER!
Our November and December Holiday Campaign
At Providence Care, our volunteers are an important part of our team, whether caring for patients or working behind the scenes. Volunteers who work with our patients and families give them the greatest gift of all - a warm smile, a reassuring touch, encouraging words and the special attention that means so much to both our patients and their loved ones. It is simply and beautifully the gift of your presence.
What can Providence Care volunteers do this holiday season?
