Baptist Medical Center Beaches and local beaches organizations are seeking volunteers to help provide much-needed services for senior residents.
In the beaches area, individuals 65 and older are the fastest-growing population. To ensure senior residents have the support and resources they need, Baptist Beaches is teaming up with the Beaches Council on Aging, Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry, Hart Felt Ministries and ElderSource to recruit community members to help fill this gap.
These organizations share a commitment to the well-being of older residents and provide a range of services to support those in need:
“Baptist Beaches has an important responsibility to meet the unique health needs of all in our community,” said hospital President Joe Mitrick. “Previous Community Health Needs Assessments uncovered an opportunity to enhance support for our older residents. That’s why we’re taking a collective approach to addressing this need and calling on the community to help. Together, we can improve the lives of seniors in our local area.”
Volunteer positions vary by organization but share a common goal of improving seniors’ quality of life:
