Volunteers work with patients, staff, families, and
visitors in over 30 areas of the hospital. Assignments
range from those with some patient contact to those
with minimal or no patient contact. There are even long-distance
assignments for the enthusiastic but homebound volunteer.
The Volunteer Services Department works very hard to
ensure that the jobs assigned to each volunteer match
closely with their interests and schedule. Take a look!
