10. Allison Smith — Community Engagement Specialist

Allison Smith acts as the Community Engagement Specialist in the Volunteer & Family Support Department at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. In this role she is able to get individuals, groups, and even organizations like ours involved at Le Bonheur. Volunteers are able to support the staff, patients, and families at Le Bonheur in numerous ways and Allison’s department coordinates it all! She discussed with us the many ways that she and her team have pivoted since Covid and discussed projects that anyone could take part in like sending a recorded message to patients, making snack bags, and so much more. Allison and her team are a vital part of the Le Bonheur staff and we were so honored to have her on the show this week! If you’d like to get involved with any of the opportunities we discussed today you can learn more here.
