Description:
Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) knows that people undergoing treatment for cancer have more concerns than just the physical, and that sometimes they don't have the opportunity to express all their fears, frustrations and needs. The Healing Beyond the Body program trains volunteers to meet with patients and their families in waiting rooms throughout the hospital. Volunteers know about the resources available to people with cancer, and also know that everyone needs to cry, vent, or just talk about last night's hockey game. We also help patients and their families to prepare for the appointment with the doctor - so all questions are answered, or we can help patients and caregivers speak to a librarian who will do a literature search just on the specific diagnosis or treatment.If you are caring, energetic, have strong interpersonal skills, know when to listen and when to talk - or are willing to learn - we'd love to meet with you. We need volunteers who can be available for a minimum of 1 shift per weekduring daytime clinic hours, Monday - Friday.
