Hospital Association
“HCAM volunteers are ambassadors for Minnesota hospitals. They are often the first face that a visitor sees when coming to visit a loved one in need of health care services. What a difference a friendly HCAM volunteer smile makes! We need HCAM volunteers not only in our hospitals, but helping to advocate for hospitals with public policy makers. Your message has a unique sincerity because elected officials see your willingness to give of your own time and talents. We at MHA are committed to build upon our advocacy partnership with HCAM.”

We hold great respect for our partnership with HCAM’s dedicated volunteers — a compassionate army of women and men called to action by missions of faith and service.
