A Visit with the Birds (AVB) was founded at Silva Health Magnet High School. When the initiative first began, the main focus was to educate prospective medical students in patient care. The relationships and lessons these students would experience would hopefully be integrated into future medical practices, therefore shifting the artificial view of medicine we have today. Since then, we have grown to include all young adults who see the value in making others feel important and cared for. We hope to both improve the lifestyles of people in retirement communities and to learn what we can from their various stories and views.
Our volunteers enjoy profound experiences every day they volunteer with us, and most finish school-required hours and keep coming regardless. Come make a difference in the lives of our residents as well as in your own! |
