With summertime quickly approaching, young people are making plans on how to spend their summer vacation. Some will work, play, attend camp, rest and relax and others will park themselves in front of a television or computer for entertainment. For those who are still undecided on how to spend their summer vacation, there are many opportunities to choose from, and one opportunity involves volunteering.

Pratt Regional Medical Center is currently seeking Volunteens. Volunteens are young people between the ages of 14 and 18, who are interested in working in healthcare and enjoy helping others.

During the summer, Volunteens assist the PRMC professional staff in providing warm, caring, friendly assistance to our patients, as well as help with other duties in non-nursing areas of the hospital.

The summer Volunteen program is a great way for young people to earn references and work experience for future employment and educational opportunities. Becoming a Volunteen can be a self rewarding experience, and all Volunteens are expected to be responsible, dedicated and dependable.

Those who are interested in becoming a Volunteen may pick up an application at Liberty Middle School, Pratt High School, Skyline, or Pratt Regional Medical Center. Applications need to be turned in to Francie Hattabaugh, PRMC Guest Services and Volunteer Coordinator by May 19th. Interviews will begin at the end of May. If you have any questions, please contact Francie Hattabaugh at 620-450-1429.
