Make a difference to to your local community - become a health volunteer

Southern NSW LHD’s Community Engagement Manager, Renata Sheehan, encouraged Southern NSW community members to consider volunteering as a way of making a difference and giving back to their local community.

“Volunteering is a fantastic way to make friends, build networks, learn new skills and, most importantly, have fun,” Ms Sheehan said.

“Our volunteers support our patients in so many ways including driving them to appointments, helping hospital visitors with directions and providing companionship to people in our palliative care programs.”

• Oncology Unit – Moruya Hospital
