  6. How did you come to volunteer at Marianjoy and what do you find most rewarding about your experience here? My wife and I were both coming to Marianjoy for outpatient therapy when I learned about the volunteer program. Because of my multiple sclerosis, I am on long-term disability but I knew I wanted to keep myself busy and active – and volunteering in the mailroom at Marianjoy lets me do just that. Not only do I have the opportunity to interact with the staff, I get a chance to give back to the disabled community. Marianjoy Volunteer: Eric Horton Years Volunteering: 1 year

  7. How did you come to volunteer at Marianjoy and what do you find most rewarding about your experience here? In 1990, I suffered two strokes during seven brain surgeries to correct a very risky arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Afterward, I wanted to give back to Marianjoy in appreciation for how they helped me so much in my recovery. I started in 1997, and spend time visiting with patients and sharing my own journey and rehabilitation experience with them. I believe this helps the patients – and it helps me to recover even more too. After everything I have been through medically, I know this is why I am still here! Marianjoy Volunteer: Lisa Stuckel Years Volunteering: 15 years

  8. How did you come to volunteer at Marianjoy and what do you find most rewarding about your experience here? After being a patient here and completing my therapy, I wanted to express my gratitude to Marianjoy. I also wanted to improve my skills using the Tobii and rocker switch (items I use to help me with communication). My main reason was because I love to volunteer and wanted to help in any way I could. I was a volunteer in high school and college, so why stop now? The most rewarding part of volunteering in the Speech Therapy department at Marianjoy is that I can assist the hospital that assisted me. The experience I acquire from volunteering is a reward in itself, and the knowledge I learn about the field of rehabilitation could be considered a reward as well. Basically, Marianjoy helps me by allowing me to volunteer. Marianjoy Volunteer: NisargThakkar Years Volunteering: 2 years

  9. How did you come to volunteer at Marianjoy and what do you find most rewarding about your experience here? I was a registered nurse before I stayed home to raise my children. Once they were grown, I wanted to do something related to nursing again so I started working in the Patient Care Services department at Marianjoy. I had never worked in the field of rehabilitation and what I find most rewarding is seeing patients returning to the life they had before their injury or illness. Marianjoy Volunteer: Elaine Hauke Years Volunteering: 38 years

  10. How did you come to volunteer at Marianjoy and what do you find most rewarding about your experience here? While my wife was a patient, I spent time here visiting her and I noticed how the volunteers were such a large part of the hospital’s operation. What I find most rewarding about being a Marianjoy transport volunteer is knowing that I’m making a positive impact in the overall care of a patient, while being able to be there for them as they work through their rehabilitation process. Marianjoy Volunteer: Daniel Ptak Years Volunteering: 1.5 years
