Volunteering is crucial in cancer care for several reasons:
Emotional Support: Volunteers provide a listening ear and emotional comfort, helping to reduce the feelings of isolation and anxiety that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. Practical Assistance: Volunteers help with everyday tasks, enabling patients to focus on their treatment and recovery. Community Building: Volunteers help create a sense of community and shared experience, which can be incredibly uplifting for patients and their families. Resource Allocation: By taking on various supportive roles, volunteers allow healthcare professionals to concentrate on clinical duties, optimizing resource use in healthcare settings.
