Cancer Society Looks At Program Efficiencies

The Canadian Cancer Society is looking at ways to find efficiencies in it's volunteer program at Ontario Cancer Centres. Society spokesperson Barb Spencer says that include the Regional Cancer Centre in Thunder Bay. Just under 100 volunteers help out at the centre doing various duties to help comfort those who come for cancer treatment. Spencer says the goal is to make the most efficient use of donor dollars that are used to run the program. Spencer says when the changes are made in the future they won't remove volunteers from the hospital or impact patient support. She says discussions with cancer centre officials are ongoing.
