LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 20, 2021) – It’s been a long time since volunteers graced the corridors of UK HealthCare hospitals and clinics.
397 days to be exact.
A year ago, their presence was ubiquitous; they would greet visitors in the hospital gift shops, deliver mail and flowers to patients and help families in surgery waiting rooms. The animal-assisted therapy teams would make the rounds and give hospital staff some much-needed puppy cuddles. But that all came to a halt on March 17, 2020.
When the coronavirus pandemic hit Kentucky last year, the visitor restrictions implemented by UK HealthCare meant that hospital volunteers had to stay away as well. As a result, Katie Hantle, manager of volunteer services and her small staff found themselves doing the work of over a hundred people.
