We have a diverse group of volunteers from all walks of life having one thing in common, a BIG "heart."
In 1952 the Service League Volunteer organization was founded at Salinas Valley Memorial. As the program grew, a department of Volunteer Services was developed in 1957. Hospital volunteers provide support services for many programs and activities, which include Patient Services, LIFELINE, Telecare, Hospital Tours, Medical History Museum, Tours, Student Volunteer Career Pathway Program, Pet Therapy, Patient Ambassadors, Medical Adventure Camp, Summer Health Institute, and Gift Shop operations.
In addition, the Volunteer Services department supports the efforts of many other hospital volunteer groups such as Spiritual Care Volunteer Visitors program, the Regional Occupational Program Job Shadowing Program, and Student Volunteer and Intern programs. Many of the services we provide would not be possible without the volunteers who commit their time to helping others.
There is a place for anyone who wishes to give their time toward our volunteer services, projects or programs. Please call us at 755-0772 or complete an application on line.
