Auxiliary Testimonials

"Being part of a healthcare organization as forward thinking as El Camino Hospital has been an inspiration to me. While the hospital itself is a beautiful place to work, it is truly the staff, the patients and their families who make the experience worthwhile. There is such a positive feeling that comes from having contributed to someone else's well-being. What I have given to this healthcare community has been given back to me a thousand fold and more."

--Linda Heider

--Kevin Jiang

"Working as a volunteer at El Camino Hospital gives me a feeling of fulfillment and gratitude knowing that I can be of service to others and help them feel comfortable and genuinely cared about. I am extremely proud of the staff that I work with. We meet and make friends--who end up being lifelong friends--that have the same commitment to the patients and staff. It is an extremely positive experience to be a volunteer and know that you may have made a patient think of their stay at El Camino Hospital as favorable time in their lives."

--Shirley Wright

"Simply put, whenever there is an opportunity to help another person in some small way, I jump on it. It is an incredible experience to help another. Patients that I meet while working my shift are in the Hospital for many reasons. It can be a traumatic experience! A smile and a little kindness and attention can go a long way."
