Additional Information
I previously volunteered at CHOMP in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, from my freshman year of high school to my junior year aiding patients recovering from severe strokes, (as well as other traumatic injuries) or surgeries, and conducting activities such as board games, bringing their food to them, and just hanging out and talking with them. It was a very good first learning experience with interactions with patients of all kinds. I loved it!
