The Sparrow Women's Board of Managers and Sparrow Volunteer Services Department have named Robert Larson, 88, of East Lansing the July Volunteer of the Month.
After his wife's death, he began volunteering at Hospice House at Sparrow's St. Lawrence campus. He has now volunteered for more than 10 years, assisting office staff, visiting with Patients and their families, and bringing joy and laughter to Hospice House.
As a Sparrow Hospice volunteer, Larson unselfishly makes a difference in so many lives, especially at a time when Patients and their families need compassion, comfort, and a listening ear.
