invaluable resource for us and we extend a sincere thank you to
them.

plan and coordinate community participation in the Voluntary Service
program.
Volunteers are utilized in all areas of
the hospital as well as the vet center and other VA community
programs. It is our policy to make the best possible use of
volunteers to improve the efficiency of services and activities for
our veteran patients. Volunteers assist VA staff in aiding and
motivating patients to early recovery, purposeful living and
adjusting to community living.

Hospital. The entire amount of all donations will be used for the
sole purpose of benefiting our veteran patients. Information on
