Hospital Seeking Adult Volunteers!

Franciscan Physicians Hospital, located at 701 Superior Ave., Munster, is seeking adult volunteers for its newly formed Volunteer Team.

The program, led by Mary Higgins, director of mission services, will give community members an additional outlet to join the hospital's mission and commitment to provide great patient care.

Barb Greene, president of Franciscan Physicians Hospital, states "We're so happy to have Mary Higgins on board with our leadership team. Mary comes to us with over 19 years of experience in overseeing the mission and volunteer programs at Franciscan St. Margaret Health."

Volunteers will be assisting with many of the services that contribute to the care and comfort of patients, among them escorting, greeting and other non-clinical tasks.

"I'm excited to invite volunteers into our facility," states Greene. "As we grow, it is imperative that we resume our mission programs, ensuring all who visit our facility see the rich culture of the Sisters of St. Francis."

Those interested in volunteering should contact Mary Higgins at (219) 922-5897, or by email at mary.higgins@franciscanalliance.org.
