Audio: “My experiences during the days that I volunteer have been great. Every day there is a different story. Individuals come in and I think they feel overwhelmed, they might feel anxious, they’re coming to see a loved one and so helping those individuals, with just even minute information, is a great feeling and I feel that I’m giving back to our community.

I feel that it’s a responsibility, as being a member of our community, and I feel that I’m helping this great organization in touching those people’s lives through their mission.
North Colorado Medical Center’s mission is to make a difference in people’s lives through excellent patient care. That’s very important to me, I believe in that and I support that. And so by volunteering I feel like I have a part of that.

If someone should approach me and ask me about my volunteer experience at NCMC and ask if they, you know, if it would be something they might consider I would encourage them. My time here has been a great experience, from the moment I came for my interview, right up until today. I feel very honored by all of the people that work in the volunteer offices, as well as I enjoy the volunteers and all the people I come in contact with.”
