Meet Our Volunteer Coordinator Heather Hourigan
For over two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Volunteer Coordinator at LoveWell. I’m passionate about building relationships and helping volunteers find purpose in the way they serve. One of the parts of my role I’m most proud of is connecting volunteers with patients through companionship visits—creating space for meaningful moments that bring comfort, connection, and joy. Being able to witness those moments firsthand is what makes this work so special to me.
