Volunteer opportunities:

Work-from-home phone opportunity: We need some volunteers to make calls to our social workers in the 644 healthcare facilities in our region. This is a critical function! This is one of the best ways for our passenger-patients to find out about our services. We need to update our list, educate the social workers of our fantastic service and send them our shiny new tri-fold brochures which will be printed soon.

We got three! Thank you to Carla, Andrea (Aubrey's Mom) & Mike Winter
