Volunteering At UPMC Memorial Hospital

I am currently volunteering at Atlantic Care Hospital, I have learned a lot ever since I began volunteering from November. During volunteering I meet different people, I talk to them and have learned new things from them. I stay after school very thursday and help tutor for math. I think that I have take a step forward and help others in any way I can . I consider volunteering as gaining experience, learning new things and most importantly helping the

While volunteering, I checked in patients, helped organize charts, and worked as a receptionist. This allowed me to serve the underserved population and work with a diverse group of professionals. It was inspiring to volunteer at the clinic because I witnessed esteemed professionals sacrifice their time to volunteer at a free clinic in order to help the community flourish. This inspires me to follow in their footsteps when I become a physician. I volunteered at the community clinic my freshman year; unfortunately, I became extremely busy with course work that I had to stop. However, I have registered to volunteer starting August and I plan to continue working throughout my senior year.

For example, a few activities I took on consist of an elementary teacher assistant, and summer camp counselour/supervisor. In both of these roles I had the opportunity to supervise children under the age of ten and aid them with school assignments, extra ciricular activites and other school related projects. In addition, I had the honor of volunteering at my local medical center and working with several patients, and nurses. In this medical center, I had the opportunity to assist patients with any need or assist nurses with sick patients, and paperwork. I believe that volunteering at the medical center benifited me in a way that prepaired me for what the medical field really has in store for me just like volunteering as assistant and counselour prepaired me for working with several individuals of different age

The experience taught me to work hard to achieve my goal of becoming a doctor and helping as many people as I can. It taught me not to waste my time. All of my dedication has pushed me to be the best person I can be so in the future I can feel confident about all of my choices. Volunteering at Children’s Hospital offered me an experience that pushed me to strive for no less than excellence. By volunteering, I watched my dreams and ambitions get closer, and although the process is a slow and difficult one, every second of it was worth it because I was able to watch everything I value become

My two main volunteer experiences consist of: Outdoor School, and volunteering for Homework Club at Gordon Russell Middle School. I have only been able to go to Outdoor School twice, but both times were filled with accomplishments. I worked on plants field study, so learning all the information, which seemed overwhelming at first, and then being

Over the course of a month, I dedicated time to volunteer with agencies that focus on providing safe and productive programs for children. Stop Child Abuse Now also known as SCAN, focuses on stopping/preventing child abuse in homes. This agency teams with many different agencies around Richmond to help parents and children coop and learn way to avoid situations of abuse. My duty for volunteering was teaming with Virginia Commonwealth University Health Services and making SCAN a known organization throughout Richmond community. VCU threw a wellness block party that included many different health services but also gave members of the community to learn and seek help with many different organizations that were there promoting their business or organization. I sat with one other girl and passed out flyers and contact information to those who were interested in the organizations. I explained to individuals what the program was about and the benefits of the program. I had one particular interaction with this young mother who explained she was in a situation where children were being abused and the authorities were notified and now she’s seeking counseling for her and the children involved. I and the other young lady volunteering with me were able to give her information on the program and also contact numbers to individuals that could help her situation. This young woman was very grateful and happy she found an organization that could assist her with her situation. From this

I am interning at Heartfelt, a mental health agency that works with adults, children and their families that deal with any type of behavior and mental health problem since 2006 with a mission to provide culturally competent, and professionally sound mental health, foster care, youth development and family support services to empower our community one child and one family at a time. The services that Heartfelt offers to clients are intensive in-home therapy, outpatient therapy, community support team (CST), peer support, medication management, and residential level III group home. Many of the clients at Heartfelt are offered Outpatient therapy service compared to other services. My role at Heartfelt is as an intern who is supervised by a MSW field supervisor completing tasks. Few of tasks that I perform at Heartfelt is shadowing professionals performing assessments and intakes with clients, working on various administrative projects such as finding resources for clients and reviewing and updating clients’ charts.

Many people don’t realize the true value of volunteering, but I’ve come to understand the incredible impact of volunteering through my experience at Memorial Hermann. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” For me, his words could not be truer.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at VCA All Pets Animal Hospital. I use to go everyday afterschool from 4pm to closing time. I have seen surgeries and doctors taking x-rays. I used to help out technicians by cleaning dog bowls, feeding the dogs, taking them for a walk, and doing laundry. At first it seemed hard for the reason that you had to take care of all animals plus been the janitor, but if you love animals, like me, you will do the work without nagging and been bored. I am grateful for this opportunity I had working with animals. It made me realize that I actually do love this career to be my future job.

One extra-curricular activity that helped me learn about myself, impacted my life, and helped me with my future was my experience at the ACMC Academy. The Ashtabula County Medical Center Academy was an educational internship at my local hospital that I competed for, and was selected to participate in over the summer of 2015. Out of over three hundred applicants throughout the local high schools, I was one of only ten students selected. In the Academy program, I had the opportunity to shadow two different departments within the hospital and witness real-life job situations that happen every day.

“Better is a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse.”- PROVERBS 28:6. I learned the truth in this verse while living with relatives in Colorado Springs, Colorado and the time I became homeless. What comes to mind when thinking about homeless people? I remember the first time I saw a homeless person begging at an intersection. He looked scruffy, unkempt, and dirty, which really scared me because I did not know what he would do to me. He just stood there, holding a sign that read, “Out of work,

Volunteering in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and assisting the parents with diversional therapy is a very good cause. As a mother I can imagine the pain when one feel that your child is in intensive care and you feel helpless that you can’t do anything. So providing them diversional will assist them to be ease or alleviate their pain. In my opinion you touches their lives which giving care with kind and caring nature and have great impact on

This summer I would like to volunteer at Methodist Healthcare, because I think it would be a good opportunity for me to experience what it is like to be in the medical field. Volunteering would give me a chance to see what I would mostly likely be interested in doing as a career in the future. I would like to volunteer so I can gain more experience in the medical field, and it would give me a chance to meet other physicians and gain some knowledge or insight on how I should begin getting involved in healthcare. Also it would help me become more outgoing, and interactive with other people, and it would help me step out of my comfort zone when it comes to talking to people. It would give me a chance to meet other people who are interested in

As I left my freshman and sophomore year behind me and approached my junior and senior year, I began thinking about my senior project and what I want to do, not what’s easy or would take the least amount of effort and time. My first idea was to job shadow my dad because I liked working with him, but I thought about it and didn’t want to do it 100%. My next idea was what I want to do for community service, and of course, I think back to my first experience with community service, which was helping others. I wanted to volunteer at a foster home because that’s first-hand experience of being around less fortunate kids and gaining knowledge of what a Social Worker does, however there wasn’t anything available within the time range I needed it to be. The next best thing was volunteering at a Boys & Girls Club. Yes, I still help children who need it, but I wasn’t able to be around a Social Worker like I hoped. It was still a good

I chose to do an internship for my senior capstone project. I found an internship at Warren Memorial Hospital. It was a part the Healthcare Hospitality Career Advancement Program (HHCAP). I chose this as my project because I thought this would be a great first step into the medical field. My core question was, “what can I learn and experience by participating in an internship with Healthcare Hospitality Career Advancement Program (HHCAP)?” I was hoping to learn if I would like to work in a hospital environment and if the medical field is truly, where I want to study.
