Volunteers resume work at Long Island hospitals
Hospital volunteers return after COVID-19 suspension
After months away from their work due to the pandemic, hospital volunteers are finally getting back to supporting patients and medical workers across our area.
LONG ISLAND - After a sixteen-month suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteers have resumed responsibilities at NYU Langone Hospital Long Island.
Angela Flesche and her schnauzer poodle, Schnoodles are visiting with patients once more. The hospital’s WAGS pet therapy program helps ease stress among patients.
"We are so looking forward to restarting the program and experiencing life and celebrating it now," Flesche said.
