Subject: what are the roles available for hospital volunteers? I'm not
elderly
but sure would like to volunteer in l&d or post partum care.>>
For a PP unit babycare class, I arranged for a volunteer to round up parents,
show them to the room, serve refreshments, handle papers, assist and clean up.
They love seeing the babies.
<<How can we implement it in OB/postpartum units.Naomi Bar-Yam PhD>>
A few ideas:
1. Transport: help PP moms to and from BF class, outpts to bra fitting room
2. Assist LC with BF class, new mom groups, BF resource groups.
3. Assist in lactation centers: errands, answer phone, make appts, clean
pumps, greet customers, hold babies.
Goodness, there seems to be much a volunteer could do. I think I'll ask for
one!
