“"Volunteering at UPMC was a powerful learning experience in an exciting place. My work helped both patients and their healthcare providers. These experiences built up my familiarity with hospital work environments and developed my appreciation of how critical the roles of non-physician healthcare workers are for patients. Furthermore, through extensive patient interaction, I gained an understanding of the daily lives of patients staying in the hospital."”
“"I began volunteering here at Shadyside Hospital last year. I am part of Healing Notes where my sister and I play music for the patients as well as the Do Crew where we wash their hair. Being a volunteer has been a life changing experience, because it allows you to connect with people during some of their most trying times. You learn to be there for the patients, even if it is for just those twenty minutes, because those twenty minutes may be the best part of their day. We know it’s definitely ours."”
“"Volunteering at Presby has given me more opportunities than I could have ever imagined and being able to help my community even in the slightest way is so rewarding!"”
“"The more you give, the more you get back. Many places are in need of volunteers and everybody has something to give."”
“"My time at UPMC East has been a very positive experience. The staff and fellow volunteers are both friendly and respectful. I came with reservations since I did not come from a background of working with the public. I can truly say that I have gotten more out of my time here than i have given."”

“"As the Posner Tower volunteer greeter, countless patients and their families are always thanking us for the compassion, kindness and care they have received from everyone at Shadyside Hospital. My heart bursts with honor and pride to be affiliated with the Shadyside family. Compassion is our passion, and we all love to help others, because someday we may need help too!"”
““Over the years my friends and family who were on the "cancer journey" were blessed to have staff and volunteers who were kind, compassionate and who even brought some laughter during trying times. Volunteering at UPMC Hillman St Clair not only gives me the opportunity to pay it forward, it is also a gift to be able to share my dogs with others. Watching the dogs bring a smile to staff, patients' and their family's faces and seeing how they magically let them shift their focus, even for a little while, is an experience that I am grateful for every time I visit.””
