Health Room - help needed

The Mann Healthroom is looking for volunteers to help support our front office staff so they can take their lunch break every day.  Volunteering in the healthroom is a fun and fulfilling experience and doesn't require you to have any medical background or knowledge. As volunteers, we mainly give band-aids and ice-packs, take temperatures, call a child's parent if necessary and mostly just give lots of friendly and supportive TLC to the kids.  If you are interested or even just curious about this volunteer opportunity, please contact Holley Kaskel at drholley@centerforpositivewellness.com or 425-213-9153.
