Volunteering at Horton Medical Center Volunteers are one of Horton Medical Center's greatest resources. They donate their time and skills in various areas throughout our hospital. Horton volunteers also participate in community activities, including community health screenings, community education events, and hospital-sponsored special events. Horton's Volunteer Program seeks men and women from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. In addition, we have exciting volunteer opportunities for younger persons ages 14 - 17 through our Junior Volunteer Program.
Volunteers provide a wide range of services and can be found in nearly every hospital department.
Whether its greeting patients and visitors, assisting with patient transport, providing clerical support to nursing units or departments, we do our very best to match your interests and skills with our most important needs. As a volunteer applicant, you will meet with our Volunteer Services Coordinator to discuss your interests and learn more about our program. In addition to your application you must submit two letters of reference. Once accepted into the program, you will attend a comprehensive orientation during which you will learn hospital policies and procedures such as fire safety and infection control, and a host of other important topics required by this institution, the New York State Department of Health, and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. In return we only ask that you commit to a minimum of 4 hours per week and that you give a total of 50 hours before you leave the program.
