I enjoy working in the mail room and preparing short procedure paperwork." Fred and Martha Glosser shared, "We have been volunteering at the Hospital for 20 years, we love helping people. We assist in the pharmacy with unpacking and inventory, stocking patient rooms, delivering meal trays, and other tasks."
