Sisters volunteering to help others. When Candy Waring retired from teaching, she wanted to do something meaningful and helpful. Her sister Carole Miller, a Jupiter Medical Center volunteer since 2014, suggested she join her. Since her sister and mother are both cancer survivors, Candy opted to volunteer for the Anderson Family Cancer Institute’s Chemotherapy & Infusion Unit, where Carole also volunteers. She finds volunteering a fulfilling experience, and she enjoys interacting with the dedicated nurses and amazing patients!
Carole says helping people fills her heart with joy. As a cancer survivor, her very presence is encouraging to patients. She and Candy volunteer two days a week, and Carole also assists with training new volunteers. The sisters serve as an extra set of eyes and ears for the nursing team, interacting with patients by providing blankets and other amenities. “We are like family,” Carole says, “we get to know each other’s stories; we care about each other.”
