Served as a volunteer in the Pediatric, Neo-natal, and Diagnostic Imaging units of the hospital. I shadowed on-duty pediatricians, and provided children with toys, books, and movies.

I matched their OHIP cards to the corresponding medical records, and provided them with clean linens and robes. In addition, I educated them about self-care, health maintenance, and information regarding the arrangement of future appointments. During my time as patient care assistant volunteer, I learned the importance and value of empathy, compassion, understanding and building connections with patients.
