Volunteer Services

We have a diverse group of volunteers representative of our community, all having one thing in common, a BIG "heart."

People like you have been volunteering since 1952 when the Service League Volunteer organization was founded. As the program grew, a department of Volunteer Services was developed in 1957. We provide support services for the Service League 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, we support 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. Volunteers enable us to provide many services to our patients and the community.

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. A little time makes a BIG difference!
