OLKA volunteer activities at Jorvi Hospital
You will recognize OLKA volunteers by their light green vests. These volunteers are trained for their duties, and they are bound by a confidentiality obligation. The purpose of the volunteers is not to replace nursing staff. The volunteers are there for you!
At Jorvi Hospital, the volunteers work as lobby assistants and provide peer support (wards S7 and L1). You may also inquire about peer support or try out the peer-to-peer search engine of the Peer Hub.
