Mayo University Hospital celebrates “meet and greet” volunteers

The Mayo University Hospital Volunteer Service celebrated both past and present volunteers for the first time since the service was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Meet and Greet team has had over 60 members of the community participating in the scheme since its inception in March 2012, with volunteers ensuring people have a warm, friendly welcome and are assisted with directions and any information needed. Some of the team have been volunteering since the beginning of the service and this was an opportunity to thank them for their service and the positive impact they have on the hospital. The staff who developed and supported the service were also acknowledged on the day for their contribution to the longevity and success of the Meet and Greet Volunteer Team.
