National Volunteer Week - Eating Matters Program

It’s National Volunteer Week!

Volunteers Susan and Simone, Team Captains within the Eating Matters team, are wonderful examples of how important volunteers are and the positive impact they have every day. Through the Eating Matters program, volunteers provide various levels of support to patients to encourage them to eat during their stay at Joseph Brant Hospital (JBH). 

This support may range from gentle encouragement and opening packages, up to directly feeding a patient. Together with JBH staff, patients and their families, Susan and Simone lead a team of volunteers - coaching and supporting them ensuring that each patient receives the type of care and meals they need to support their stay at JBH.

As Simone says, “It’s not hard work, it’s heart work,” and we couldn’t agree more!

Thank you to all our volunteers who bring their passion, commitment and dedication to the patients, visitors and staff at Joseph Brant Hospital.
