Last week Madigan Army Medical Center welcomed the 27 volunteers from the American Red Cross Summer Youth Program! They come in one day per week for the summer to volunteer. The students involved are military family members and others from around our community who aspire to learn more about healthcare and career opportunities. This program is a great opportunity for everyone involved and promotes a positive influence in our community! Our Madigan team also appreciated having the additional volunteer support throughout the week. Thank you for volunteering and we welcome you here!
