Hospital Volunteer

Here’s a number: 800. That’s about one and a half times the amount of people in our high school. It’s also the estimated number of children who die each day due to diarrhoeal diseases caused by unclean and unsafe drinking water (WaterAid). That being said, here in the United States, almost anyone can walk up to a drinking fountain and clean water will shoot out. My whole life I have taken too many opportunities and freedoms for granted, which is why someday, I want to go on a mission trip to help people in need.

Growing up within a stable, loving environment, all the while enjoying good health with no major setbacks or difficulties, I have always considered myself fortunate. The value of respect, along with imparting a non-judgmental attitude toward people and situations, was emphasized daily by my parents.

If I were to give each of you $100 right now, wouldn’t you be happy? (Attention) Well I can’t do that. This is because even when something seems free, there is always a net financial investment. This is clearly seen through the volunteers of the hospital. Today I will show you the financial impact that a volunteer has on the hospital and patient experience. (General Purpose) We will look at the costs of running a volunteer program, the financial return volunteers provide, and the invaluable impact on the patient experience in a hospital. (Preview)

Being a volunteer at the UM Charles Regional Medical Center is a great way to give back your community and in a small way help society to become a better place. However, before you can become a full volunteer there are certain requirements that you will need to fulfil.

Cedars-Sinai is a place that offers a wide variety of opportunities to volunteer within health providing services. As a student that is driven to pursue a career in the health field in order to improve the service of patients, I am interested in aiding doctor, nurses, physician assistants, and more in providing the quality care that all patients should receive. Additionally, I am interested in participating in the amazing programs that Cedars-Sinai offers for students such the TCAB and the Pre-Healthcare Volunteer programs. If I have the opportunity to participate in these programs, I would ultimately be open to aid in a wide range of duties. I am fully committed to help, to volunteer, and to learn.

In my community many people do not understand the struggles of kids with serious illnesses and the financial and mental toll it has in the parents. To have more understanding of the problem I encourage people to volunteer at hospitals to gain more knowledge about the problem.

Throughout the years I feel that I’ve had a number of valuable experiences, my most significant experience is my volunteering experience at Children’s Hospital Colorado. I still remember feeling utterly terrified on my first day volunteering, pondering all the possible ways things could go wrong. I suddenly felt as though I have never experienced this before. I was on my own, responsible for myself and all of my actions.

The Yuma County Health Department has a tuberculosis program that is funded on a federal, state, and local level (Yuma County Health Department, 2016). Yuma County has developed this program to combat the incidence of tuberculosis within the community. However, the program has some limitation regarding its availability. Lack of funding has resulted in skin test screening being restricted only potentially infected or high-risk clients (Yuma

Rauf Abayev has been volunteering at this hospital for over a year now. In addition to volunteering, he has been shadowing the PAs in the general surgery clinic under my supervision. Furthermore, I have come to know him quite well when he shadowed me during the whole summer. It is a pleasure to be able to provide this letter of recommendation for him for admission to the PA program.

After Flint’s water crisis became worldwide, there were many donations coming from various people all around the world. Celebrities and actors/actresses were even donating thousands of bottles of water. Rapper Meek Mill donated 50,000 bottles of water to Flint, Michigan in January of 2016. Following that, a radio station called Z107.9 donated 10,000 pallets of water. It didn’t stop there. President Obama made sure that the Administration provided $80 million to help support Flint also.

One of my extracurricular activities was volunteering at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, PA during the 10th and 11th grade. I gave patients food and water, answered call bells, and comforted and transported patients. I volunteered for 4 hours a week, 15 weeks a year, and had a total of 120 volunteer hours. Volunteering at the hospital showed me what it takes to care for the sick and made me realize that I want to go into the medical

Globally, over seven hundred and eighty-three million people do not have access to clean water (The Water Project, 2016). Millions of people have to struggle endlessly to fill up pails of water for themselves and their families; however, this does not happen in America. Water contamination and access, or lack thereof, is a third world issue. The United States is a global empire, wealthy, and the land of opportunity; Flint, Michigan became a local cesspool, impoverished, and without basic drinking water. The visual of desolate villagers walking miles for water is not the universal or unique image anymore. The ordinary town of Flint became a national icon for water scarcity and paranoia. Water contamination, disease outbreak and widespread panic

After a single telephone call to the Children’s Hospital Volunteer Services Coordinators, I learned that volunteers were readily accepted to serve within the hospital’s recreational therapy deparment. When they asked my reason for volunteering, I explained to them that I wanted to help the children develop their leadership potential as well as other abilities. The members of volunteer services seemed excited.

Temple University requires students from countries with a high-incidence of tuberculosis (TB) to be screened for TB with a PPD/Mantoux skin test (PPD). You have been identified as being/coming from a country with a high incidence of tuberculosis and are required to be screened for tuberculosis.
