Meet Christy, the Ghost of Volunteers Past

The Ghost of Volunteers Past
Richmond Hospital

How long have you worked at VCH?

Since February 26, 1966 – we only had 132 beds!

Your VCH contribution. Tell us what you do at VCH.

I used to do a lot of different jobs including wayfinding for patients and visitors who come to the hospital, selling items in the gift shop and going on outings with the staff and patients. I volunteered for several decades and still hang around to gently remind today’s volunteers how best to provide a good care experience for our patients, clients and residents. Most of the time people don’t see me…

One thing that we might be surprised to find out about you:

 I dated Beetlejuice for 3.5 years.

Favorite hobby:

Playing hide-and-ghost-seek.

Three things you always have in your fridge:

Worms, eyeballs and boo berries.

What makes you happy?

 Helping people around the hospital, but also scaring them – it gets a bit confusing at times.

Most healthy habit:

I exorcise almost daily…

Favourite vacation spot or place you’ve visited:

The House of Dracula in Romania.
