Volunteering Provides Benefits
Regardless of Health Conditions
Mary Niederlehner
Introduction
• Mary Niederlehner most recently held the position of registered nurse.
Prior to that, she was a research assistant. Among the various hobbies
Mary Niederlehner enjoys is volunteering.
Individuals who choose to volunteer not only help the organization they
are involved with, they also reap rewards themselves, in the form of
health benefits. For instance, research shows that those who volunteer
tend to live longer than individuals who do not.
According to various studies, individuals who were active volunteers
during the first round of surveys were found to have lower mortality rates
in the second round. Even with issues that might otherwise suggest
greater health problems, such as age and current physical health, these
individuals still possessed lower mortality compared with those who did
not volunteer at all. Finally, those who had health conditions (including
serious illness) but still volunteered within a comfortable capacity, were
found to have benefited in ways that medical care could not provide.
