Doyle named Greenview’s top volunteer Mon, 12 May 2008 10:12:26 -0500
One look at Joe Doyle and it’s obvious that he’s a volunteer who enjoys what he does. “I haven’t lost a patient yet,” he said with a smile and a wink. A Greenview Regional Hospital volunteer since 2003, Doyle is stationed in the connected Physicians Specialty Center. He escorts patients to a variety of places, including endoscopy, radiology, nuclear medicine, MRI, CT scans, heart cath lab, mail room, medical records and same-day surgery. He also helps with set up, break down and greeting at screenings for Greenview’s H2U program, which focuses on the health of seniors. Whether it’s helping a young girl going to the hospital for a procedure name her toy pig “Freddie” or explaining to another patient that an X-ray is like taking a picture with a camera, Doyle enjoys putting people at ease. “When you walk into a hospital, there are people hurrying all over the place, people on stretchers and people in uniform. I try to calm patients’ nerves - especially the kids because they’re scared to death when they get here,” he said. “You find out how they are. That’s how you approach them. You have to approach everybody different.” He knows the patients are fine once they get to their destination, whether it’s to see a doctor or get a procedure. “They’re in good hands once they get there,” he said. Greenview patients and employees believe patients are in good hands with Doyle. He recently received the hospital’s Frist Humanitarian of the Year Award, which recognizes one employee and one volunteer at each Hospital Corp. of America facility who demonstrate extraordinary concern for the welfare and happiness of patients and their community. Employees and volunteers are nominated by co-workers and patients. Doyle has been nominated three times. “It’s a great honor,” he said. He also received the hospital’s Volunteer of the Year Award in 2006. “I didn’t know anything about it until the awards ceremony,” he said. “I was totally blown away.” Doyle - a Holley Performance Products retiree after 44 years - didn’t go to Greenview specifically to volunteer. He had planned to participate in H2U’s exercise program. A woman who volunteers there approached him about volunteering at Greenview. He didn’t think it would be a good fit, but it was. “I love it. The rewards are phenomenal. It’s unreal,” he said. “I know everybody, and everybody knows me. We work together. We laugh together. It’s fun.”
