See the golden, angel-shaped pin on the jacket that identifies Rebecca Leroux as a JGH volunteer? She got it from a grateful patient who told her, “It takes an angel to work in a hospital.” This outpouring of appreciation is what keeps Ms. Leroux—and hundreds of other volunteers across CIUSSS West-Central Montreal—highly motivated to regularly give of themselves. Ms. Leroux, 20, has even taken the extra step of helping to recruit fellow students at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf to become volunteers.
