Our volunteers are an essential piece of the AFC puzzle! 🧩 This month, we invited our staff, patients, board members, and partners to share messages recognizing the compassion and dedication our volunteers bring to every part of patient care. Because of them, our community receives the support, dignity, and whole-person healthcare they deserve. Take a look at a few of their notes here 💙
