What Is it Like to Volunteer at Lahey Clinic?
"Being a Lahey Volunteer is an excellent opportunity to
say comforting words to a family member waiting for a loved one in
surgery, provide direction to a wandering patient attempting to find an
appointment location, or use a little humor to relieve a stressful
situation. I feel that occasionally I make a positive difference in
someone's life. My payoff is a smile and a simple 'thank you.'"
~Paul Breen, Lahey volunteer since 1999
"I worked at the Clinic for 30 years in jobs in Utilization Review, Risk Management, and Medical Records. I truly loved the work I did, and not many people can say that. So when my husband passed away, I decided to help ease my loneliness by returning to Lahey as a volunteer. It keeps me socially active and connected to young people in the community. And I also get a great deal of satisfaction from helping people and receiving their thanks."
~Trudy Steuernagel, Lahey volunteer since 1993
