Cary Hospital
WakeMed Cary Hospital Volunteer Services has begun a new service that offers magazines, comfort items, puzzle books and other, select reading material to our patients. Donations of gently used or new magazines, novels (romance, mystery, westerns) and word puzzle books will be greatly appreciated.
Criteria:
* Magazines � Must be current. Monthly publications published within the past 12 months are acceptable. Weekly publications, or news related magazines should be no more than two months old. If donating magazines that have been delivered to your home, the mailing address or any other personal identifying information should be marked out or removed before delivery to the hospital.
*Books � Paperbacks preferred. Must be clean and odor free (no musty, moldy smell). Books must fall into the category of light� reading. Experience tells us that when a person is sick, they more often than not stick with materials that are easy to read and do not require intense concentration.
*Due to, and out of respect for the diversity of our customer base, reading material of a religious nature cannot be distributed and therefore cannot be accepted.
Donations can be delivered to Volunteer Services during regular business hours. Monday through Friday, 8am � 4:30pm.
