Everyday Thousands of People in Tampa Bay Volunteer!

In honor of the volunteers who positively impact our community, the Volunteers For Health Committee has launched a Volunteer Recognition and Appreciation Award. Quarterly, one volunteer will be selected from both Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties for their contributions to the field of healthcare in the Tampa Bay area. These awards will recognize those whose lives have an impact on the quality and/or availability of health services locally, thus improving the quality of life for those in our community.
