A word from our President

The mission of the Friends of HGH is to help the hospital improve patients’ quality of life and enrich the hospital environment while raising funds for the Foundation. As volunteers, we help patients find their way, register, and calm their anxiety.

The pandemic has significantly reduced the number of volunteers at HGH. We would like to rebuild our team, and to do so, we need you! Please visit the links below to learn more about the role of volunteers at HGH and to submit your application.

One day, we will all leave this planet with nothing, and only the good we have done will remain.
