News Release
**********************
The North Bay Regional Health Centre is continuing to recruit new volunteers before the hospital opens for patient care in January 2011. The Hospital is hosting a drop-in Volunteer Recruitment Fair on Monday, November 29th from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. at the new health care centre on Highway 17.
Attendees will have the opportunity to browse information booths and speak with both staff and volunteers about the many options available at the new health centre.
Kim McElroy, Director of Volunteer Engagement at both the North Bay General Hospital and Northeast Mental Health Centre, explains that the expanding role of the volunteer within the organizations presents new opportunities for community members to get involved.
“Our goal was to recruit 200 new volunteers before the hospital opens and with the recent success of our recruitment fair, we are hosting a second fair to hopefully reach our goal, ” McElroy explains.
Lois Krause, Executive Director of The Hospital Foundation says there are a number of other exciting new volunteer positions to be filled as staff, physicians and volunteers prepare to move into the new facility.
“For the first time in Ontario, a mental health centre and a general hospital are amalgamating into one organization. This marks an exciting time for volunteer opportunities, and gives volunteers a chance to become a part of history,” Krause says.
Volunteers are valued members of the hospital team. Please join us on Monday, November 29th and find out how you can make a difference.
Volunteer, your day, your time, your choice.
