Volunteer Opportunities and Perks

We are looking for adults and students who are talented, service-oriented, and looking for a worthwhile opportunity. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old.

Volunteers assist in many hospital areas and departments.  They have an opportunity to serve in specified patient care areas, as well as office settings, throughout the hospital.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Patient Escorts
  • Greeting and Way-Finding
  • Patient and Family Reception Areas

Volunteer Perks

  • Free flu shot annually
  • Perks cards
  • Meal tickets
  • Free fountain drink
  • Free parking
  • Ongoing hospital education
  • Volunteer Recognition
  • Holiday Open House
  • Employee/Volunteer Picnic
  • Discounts at the hospital fitness center and cafeteria
  • Discount at hospital retail pharmacy (after 90-day trial period and ending when you retire from volunteering)
  • Volunteers are sometimes hired on as staff after continued service
  • Studies have shown that people who volunteer improve their health and well-being, feel better about themselves, and live longer!

Volunteers typically serve a minimum of a three-to-four hour shift weekly.  Volunteers must commit to a minimum of six consecutive months of service. 

Volunteer placements are based primarily on hospital need and priority, as well as the volunteer’s preferences and availability.
