Make Volunteering A New Year's Resolution
PHILADELPHIA (December 2, 1999) -- In the midst of this busy holiday season, plan to set aside some time in the year 2000 to volunteer for Fox Chase Cancer Center at their new office located in Bryn Mawr.
Volunteers are needed to welcome patients and visitors, support the work of the receptionist, and manage the patient resource room. Volunteers will have the opportunity to enhance care through direct interaction with patients, families and staff.
Interviews by appointment and training will be conducted at the office. For information, call Kathie Reed-McKain in the Fox Chase Volunteer Services Department at 215-728-2560.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, part of Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation’s first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase also was among the first institutions to receive the National Cancer Institute’s prestigious comprehensive cancer center designation in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center’s nursing program has achieved Magnet status for excellence three consecutive times.
