Hey everyone! Being my first blog post, I thought that I’d introduce myself. As Ellie mentioned, I am a senior at the Union County Magnet High School on an internship for my spring semester.  I’ll be the one in charge of all the little tweaks you see around the site and writing a blog post here and there. I am really excited to work with the OYFC organization and be a part of all the great work it does!

We are pleased to announce a new set of opportunities at Overlook Hospital. We received a varied set of jobs from Donna Delicio, who is the Manager of the Outpatient Oncology Services. These jobs range from administrative duties to personal patient interaction. We got in touch with Donna through Anna Berwitz, Director of Patient and Family Services at our local chapter of the American Cancer Society. She has helped us make several volunteering matches and we are glad to see she has pulled through for us again. Working with a hospital is a big step forward for OYFC and we are excited for all the opportunities that can come of it!

The positions available are:
-Administrative, data entry
-Greeting and visiting patients in the treatment center
-Playing music in the lobby
-Providing therapeutic mind/body treatments

The best part about these positions is that you get to directly interact with the people you are helping! You can see how appreciative they are of the hours you are spending on improving their experience in the hospital.
