Each volunteer brings a unique contribution to our programs and makes a positive difference in our daily operations. We carefully select volunteers to join us in our mission of providing the highest quality customer service, while demonstrating our core values of doing the kind thing, the safe thing, the best thing, and the right thing for our patients, families, and community.

Opportunities

Volunteer Services provides complementary services to patients, families, visitors and staff. There are many opportunities available for our volunteers at different areas of the hospital and off-site locations, in both clinical and nonclinical roles.

Working Together

Let us pair your skills and talents with the best volunteer positions available. We work together with our volunteers, finding an assignment that matches their interests, abilities, and availability according to the Medical Center's needs. Our assignments are restricted to weekdays, 9am-5pm. Evening and weekend options are not available.

Benefits

We value our volunteers and the giving of their time and talents. Volunteers receive these special perks at the Medical Center: Free parking each time you volunteer, a complementary meal each day you volunteer, an annual appreciation lunch and gift, and a discount in our Gift Shop.
