Larry Antonucci Expresses Gratitude to Volunteers at Lee Health: Enhancing Patient Experiences Through Selfless Service
Larry Antonucci, M.D., MBA, is the President & CEO of Lee Health. Last week was National Volunteer Week, and although he missed sharing a column at that time, he took the opportunity this week to express his appreciation for the volunteers at Lee Health.
Volunteers are a vital part of Lee Health’s mission-driven team. They provide dedicated service and support to patients, visitors, and staff in almost every department throughout the health system and community-based locations. Their contributions make a significant impact on enhancing the experiences of those they serve.
Lee Health receives support from many volunteers who have either received care themselves or are family members of patients who want to give back to the community. Reba George is one such example; she is a former patient turned volunteer whose story can be found at https://tinyurl.com/YTReba. Volunteering at Lee Health does not require a medical or nursing background but only a desire to make a difference and help others.

The reasons why individuals volunteer at Lee Health vary, but the common thread among them is their desire to contribute positively to the community. Dr. Larry Antonucci appreciates their efforts and values their kindness and friendships as an integral part of his mission-driven team at Lee Health
