Bill Fielding has been a volunteer at Licking Memorial Hospital (LMH) for almost three years.  His neighbors, Jan and Al Smith, also are volunteers and initially told him about the opportunity.  “When I first started, I quickly learned that it is a great place to be,” Bill said.  “I’m always impressed with the friendly attitudes and team-oriented spirit.  Sandy Hanlon, the Volunteer Manager, is very kind and works well with all of the volunteers.  I immediately knew that this is the place I want to be.”

He has volunteered in many different departments at LMH, including Oncology, Outpatient Surgery, Main Lobby Front Desk, and delivering newspapers and mail throughout the Hospital.  “It’s very satisfying to help people through this opportunity.  Anyone who is looking for a fulfilling experience should consider volunteering at LMH,” Bill said.

Bill grew up in western Pennsylvania and is an Air Force veteran.  He received an associate degree in marketing from Delaware Technical Community College and later received a bachelor’s degree in business from Wilmington College.  Bill worked for Child World for 34 years as the warehouse distribution manager and has held multiple part-time jobs.  Bill and his wife have three children, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.  He is a member of St. Leonard Catholic Church in Heath and the Newark Moose Lodge.  Bill enjoys playing golf and spending time with his family.
