In this Keyboard Roundtable, international panelists tackle the evolving role of volunteers in health care settings.  In light of the constantly changing environment of hospitals and health care, how, when and where do volunteers fit in? 

Are today’s health care volunteers still associated with the traditional roles of teenage candy stripers and elderly book cart dispensers? Or have health care volunteers discovered new, expanded roles in not only hospital settings but in hospice organizations, rehabilitation centers and extended life care settings? How is volunteering responding to greater demands on services and increasing focus on issues such as home-based services and preventative health care?
 
Our panel of experts represents a broad spectrum of health care affiliates and their discussion will highlight many of the issues facing volunteer managers in today’s health care environment.
