VOLUNTEERING: IT’S GOOD FOR THE SOUL!
When you take the time to reach out and help others, it can be good for the soul. Volunteering has always been a valuable way to contribute to the greater good and lift your own spirits in the process. What’s more, it’s associated with better physical and mental health outcomes. Documented physical, social and cognitive improvements are all connected with volunteering. SIH offers several ways to volunteer. A variety of opportunities exist through our three hospitals in Carbondale, Herrin or Murphysboro, all of which are flexible to fit your schedule.
