Volunteer Services

Thank you for your interest in joining our volunteer program. We are always looking for new Volunteers who are kind, compassionate and eager to be of service to our Hospital and Medical office buildings.

Volunteers perform various non-clinical roles to enhance the patient care experience, by assisting members and visitors with directions, wayfinding, locating wheelchairs, visiting patients, or providing comfort care by offering a pillow, warm blanket, or water.

There are many benefits to Volunteering and giving back to your community, which include: Creating a sense of purpose and belonging, joy, happiness, and personal fulfillment.
