John McLoughlin

Director, Volunteer Services

2007 Mercy Spirit Award Recipient

What would cause someone to travel more than 3,000 miles away from their family and friends in Dublin, Ireland? According to John McLoughlin, Director of Volunteer Services, the opportunity to work at Stella Maris. John began his work here as a Mercy Corps volunteer 9 years ago. Feeling immersed into the Mission of Stella Maris, he felt drawn to the Hospice unit where patients are treated as more than just a symptom but rather as a whole person. Since his voyage here, he has had the opportunity to use and develop his skills and talents to successfully implement several outreach programs and develop Stella’s pool of volunteers. John’s advice for anyone looking to work at Stella: “Recognize that none of the residents chose to be in a nursing facility. [This is] an opportunity for us to give to our residents- it is our responsibility to give back”.
