The Changing Environment of Volunteers in Health Care

In this Keyboard Roundtable, international panelists tackle the evolving role of volunteers in health care settings. How, when and where do volunteers fit within the constantly changing environment of hospitals and health care?  

Consider: Are today’s health care volunteers still associated with the traditional roles of teenage candy stripers and elderly book cart dispensers? Or have health care volunteers discovered new, expanded roles in not only hospital settings but in hospice organizations, rehabilitation centers and extended life care settings?
