Volunteering at Central Vermont Medical Center

"I love it at CVMC. The hospital has such a calm and welcoming atmosphere, and Woodridge is the nicest nursing home I've ever visited. Every week Renee and I make at least one special connection with a patient or family member. Truly this is the most rewarding way I've ever found to volunteer."
