In honor of National Volunteer Week, I want to express my gratitude for the dedicated volunteer workforce at Lee Health. Our volunteers contribute to almost every department in our hospitals and offices across the health system and community-based locations, both in patient care and non-patient care roles.
Many of our volunteers are former patients or family members of patients who have personally experienced our care and are eager to give back. One such individual is Reba George, who decided to become a volunteer after her positive experience as a patient. Her story can be found at
We deeply appreciate the efforts, support, kindness, and companionship of our volunteers. They are an essential part of our mission-driven team. If you are interested in volunteering at Lee Health, we encourage you to join us. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, please visit
