Royal North Shore Hospital's Youngest Volunteer

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Royal North Shore Hospital has a wealth of volunteers across sixty different volunteer programs that are in place. Today I'd like to acknowledge one volunteer in particular, Sam Kordi, who is the Hospital's youngest volunteer. Sam is following in the footsteps of her mum, Royal North Shore Hospital nurse Macy Panah, and while Macy supervises patient discharges and has had a varied nursing career, Sam has her sights set firmly on working as an Emergency Department nurse. As a Royal North Shore Hospital volunteer, Sam has joined over five hundred and fifty men and women who give up their time to help patients, visitors and staff. Sam has contributed to assisting so many at Royal North Shore Hospital, all while studying for her HSC exams last year. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers at Royal North Shore Hospital for continuing to provide much needed assistance to patients and their families. I was able to join a handful of these volunteers at a morning tea last year, and hear firsthand how much they contribute to the staff and patients on a daily basis.
