Volunteers will find that staff, patients, and their families often depend on them. They will experience personal rewards which are immeasurable in dollar amounts. What they give to the hospital and its patients will also be immeasurable. Entertain and assist patients - The hospital can be a scary place for our young patients, as well as their families. The presence of a volunteer can be very reassuring to the parents and staff.
Volunteers can hold, rock, feed and play with children.
Not all volunteers want to interact with patients. Many choose to help with office work such as filing, answering phones, making photo copies, and general office duties. The hospital will mail you information on our program. Volunteers must be 14 years old or in the ninth grade. Applicants 18 years or older must consent to a background check.
