Volunteerism – Improving Your Health One Person at a Time
A survey released in April by United Healthcare, and Volunteer Match, found that nearly 70 percent of people who have volunteered in the past year reported that volunteering has made them feel physically healthier.
Incorporating service into your life and making a difference in your community is one of the greatest benefits people receive from volunteering. The intangible benefits such as pride and achievement are meaningful reasons to serve and give your time.
Throughout the non-profit community there is evidence of this type of selfless giving deserving recognition – The National Health Council is able to utilize volunteer representatives from over 100 NHC member organizations from all areas of the health care community advocating for a health care system that Puts Patients First!
We can all take part in volunteering whether it is through our workplace, our children’s schools, or a neighborhood network – volunteering is an activity that improves our community and ourselves.
