Spotlight Description

For the past 10 weeks, and continuing today, I have volunteered across UK HealthCare, including the UK Chandler area, Kentucky Children’s Hospital, and Markey Cancer Center. I have supported patients in the East, West, and North wings of the Kentucky Children's Hospital by spending time with younger children through play, slime-making, and visits to the playroom, as well as engaging older patients with activities and conversation. My work also includes sanitizing shared spaces, such as the Work and Playroom, to help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all patients, parents, and staff members. As I continue to volunteer at UK Healthcare, I support the Volunteer office by delivering patient mail and flowers to patients in Pavilion H and A, assisting the administration office, and connecting with high schoolers and college students from across the state. These simple moments with patients and staff have proved to me multiple times that simple acts of care can be meaningful and can genuinely change anyone's perspective on the world.
