JUNIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM TO BEGIN

The end of the school year signals the beginning of St. Francis Medical Center's summer Junior Volunteer program.

Young men and women between 14 and 17 are eligible to join.

A volunteer session is scheduled for June 11 in the St. Francis Health and Education Centre. Orientation begins at 9 a.m.

"Serving as a junior volunteer is an excellent way for high-school students to find out about the many types of careers available in the health care field," said Bonnie Perdue of the St. Francis volunteer services office.

"Our junior volunteers gain valuable insights into these career opportunities, which often helps them make some decisions about their own futures. They also provide a much-needed service to the medical center and its patients."
