The FSLH Volunteer Association actively seeks to improve the care patients and their families receive. The organization operates gift shops at both the St. Luke’s and Faxton Campuses, and organizes vendor sales throughout the year. Profits from these endeavors allowed the Volunteer Association to give $100,000 back to FSLH in 2011.

If you would like to get involved and volunteer at FSLH, please call Sue Warwick, director of Volunteer Services, at (315) 624-6052.
