Every year, St. Boniface Hospital looks forward to National Volunteer Week (NVW) to highlight the dedicated efforts of our volunteers. April 19 – 25 marks NVW with this year’s theme – Ignite Volunteerism.
As we reflect on our interactions with volunteers, we can see the unique spark that they bring to our facility. If you have volunteers in your department, then you will know how much we count on them. They are part of our St. Boniface Hospital team and add so much value and compassion to the care our facility provides. As you see volunteers throughout this week, please extend a thank you or a note of appreciation to let them know how much they mean to us.
