Volunteer Stories: Vic At Excela Health, we value our volunteers as we value our employees, with respect and appreciation. Vic Bryer, has been volunteering at Westmoreland Hospital Emergency Department for several years. After his wife’s death, Vic looked for another way to care for others in his community. He has been thanked countless times by patients who do not have other visitors, and even by those who do. Vic enjoys the smiles and comfort he brings to patients in stressful times and would recommend this special experience to anyone. "It's a very rewarding thing. I think it's the best job there is."
Emmy the therapy dog Meet Emmy, a 7-year-old Havanese and Poodle mix (Havapoo). She has been a therapy dog through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs since March 2018 and enjoys visiting Latrobe Hospital every other Monday to put a smile on the staff and patients’ faces. Emmy loves to show off her themed dresses made for holidays such as Independence Day and Easter, but she still likes to keep cool in the summertime with bows on her ears. She loves to travel around town to meet anyone she can, even other pups like herself!
