SOUTH HILL, VA– VCU Health Community Memorial Hospital’s Cancer & Specialty Care is excited to announce a new volunteer program.  Volunteers in this program will provide valuable support services to patients with cancer and their families.  We are seeking people with a little extra time and the desire to impact the lives of others.  Come see for yourself how rewarding it can be!

Volunteers are needed to support a variety of services including:  greeting patients and visitors as they enter the Hendrick Cancer & Rehab Center and the Solari Radiation Therapy Center; assisting with lunches/snacks to patients receiving treatment; making courtesy calls to patients; preparing new patient packets; and providing companionship to patients.

VCU Health CMH partners with VCU Massey Cancer Center to provide advanced care for cancer and blood disorders in Southern Virginia and Northern North Carolina.  Cancer care is provided in the Hendrick Cancer & Rehab Center and in the Solari Radiation Therapy Center, both located at 750 Lombardy Street in South Hill, VA.

You can volunteer Monday through Friday during regular business hours.  You must be at least 18 years of age to participate.  For more information or to schedule an introductory meeting, contact Mary Hardin, RN, MSN, Director of Cancer & Specialty Care at (434) 774-2417.

Volunteers love their jobs and are dedicated to strengthening health services for this region.
