A happier and healthier community!

We have such a great team at the Tri-Cities Cancer Center (TCCC). Yesterday, I saw staff going above and beyond to support the family of a patient. Several hands were involved – heartwarming to see. When I was passing through our clinic yesterday afternoon I heard a brief snippet of a lively conversation happening in our patient waiting area. Several patients were chatting each other up with one of our volunteers right in the middle of the conversation. Lots of laughs! Great to hear when you consider the work we do.

We can never say enough about our volunteers. Volunteers helped establish the Tri-Cities Cancer Center nearly twenty years ago. Our Foundation Board of Directors is an all-volunteer board…and boy do these people step up! We have volunteers who work throughout the Cancer Center on a daily basis. Some work as patient greeters while others volunteer in our Resource Center. Of course, there are many jobs in between which are supported by our volunteers, the majority of whom are either TCCC Guild members or are members of the TCCC Men’s Club. All amazing people, who give freely of their time. Hat’s of to Kim Berg, our Volunteer Coordinator, for the work she does engaging this wonderful group of people to support cancer patients and their families on behalf of the TCCC.

Today, we’ll have many volunteers in action as our Foundation hosts their annual HAPO Golf Classic fundraiser. Volunteers always play a key role in our events and do a dynamite job doing so! If you will be attending our event today, you are sure to see countless bright green shirts all over Canyon Lakes Golf Course, many of these people are TCCC volunteers.

Thank you TCCC volunteers for all you do. You make our community a happier and healthier place to live, work and play!
