Post about Hospital volunteering

Memorial Hermann is a phenomenal hospital that provides patient care for any specialty.  This hospital is among the top 1% among the nation, this places us (Houston) in a great position for future healthcare providers to have an excellent experience as volunteers.  I go there every friday to expose myself to different clinical settings such as the CCU and ER units and the Operating Room.  I help patients get positioned for surgery, and as an EMT volunteer, I can provide a little more help to assistants and nurses in the ER such as assisting in starting IV lines, applying pressure to bleeding wounds and assisting with spanish-speaking only people to translate their needs to their nurses.
