Christine Golub – Blue Bird Volunteer – Pet Therapy
“Volunteering at Methodist Children’s Hospital and Methodist Texsan with Bacon and Crème Brûlée is such a joy! It is truly amazing to see the instant smiles and comfort my dogs bring to everyone they meet. Whether they are brightening a patient’s day, greeting visitors, or giving the hard-working hospital staff a much needed mental break, Bacon and Creme Brulee love bringing a little extra happiness to the daily routine.”
Wayne Evans – Lifetime Blue Bird Volunteer – NICU Cuddler Volunteer
“Being a Blue Bird in the NICU at Methodist Main is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling things I’ve ever done. There’s something incredibly special about being able to hold, comfort and be there for those precious babies when they need it the most. Every time I leave the NICU my heart is full. It’s a privilege I never take for granted, and I truly feel like receive just as much from those little ones as I am able to give.”
Don Day – Lifetime Blue Bird Volunteer – Patient Escort and Mother-Baby Volunteer
“I love to volunteer. I am on Mother/Baby second floor and have been doing it for several years now and I used to volunteer in patient escort or transport as it is called now. I have really enjoyed it for years, so God bless the Blue Birds.”
Misty Vespe – Blue Bird Volunteer – PCCU Volunteer
“My favorite thing about being a Blue Bird is making people smile. Often families are very stressed when they have a child or loved one in the hospital. I love being able to help them feel cared for during a difficult time.”

“As a quasi-retired nurse, I continue to look for meaningful ways to serve humanity to honor God, and being one of the first friendly, helpful faces a visitor encounters at the front desk gives me just that opportunity!”
Lauryn Clark – Blue Bird Volunteer – Patient Escort, Floor Duty and EM Rounding Volunteer
“I enjoy having the opportunity to provide service to patients, families, and staff. Being a volunteer with the Blue Birds has also given me the chance to learn from others and apply what I’ve learned to my daily life.”
Graciela Muniz – Blue Bird Volunteer – Patient Escort and Sewing Committee
“I always wanted to become a volunteer at any hospital, but God brought me to Methodist. I enjoy every moment I am there helping others in need. I would like to thank all for what I learned through the years. Thank you to the ones who are no longer with us, that helped me to understand the meaning of love for others in their everyday steps at the hospital. I will always remember them.”
Bruce Doolittle – Lifetime Blue Bird Volunteer – Floor Duty and Pastoral Care Volunteer
“Working as a Bluebird volunteer has been a huge blessing to me. Like the characters in the television program “Cheers,” I have found a place where “people know my name.” Besides this sense of community, I’m gratified to be helping people sometimes in the most difficult times in their lives. Just being kind and present with others is a gift to others and me as well. So, I recommend this meaningful opportunity to adults who are looking for a place to find community and serve others.”
