At Proctor Hospital, volunteers play a vital role in the day-to-day operations and
the delivery of quality care and services. We believe that volunteerism not only
adds to the quality of one’s life but also gives individuals the opportunity to
share their knowledge and life experience with others. The commitment made each
day by our volunteers adds greatly to the excellence in care and the commitment
to quality of the entire organization.
