Members of the team include the patient and their family, all nursing personnel, auxiliary personnel, and Volunteers. The Nursing Unit Volunteer assists the nursing staff with a variety of routine non-professional tasks. As a result, the professional staff's skills can be more efficiently utilized for patient care. The MICU Volunteer assists the Mobile Intensive Care Team with all designated functions of the Mobile Intensive Care Program. Patient Transport Volunteers supplement the Patient Transport staff by assisting with the courteous, safe, and timely movement of patients within the medical center by either stretcher or wheelchair.
Volunteers also assist the ambulatory patient who is being admitted or discharged.

The focus of the Prepared Sibling Program is to enhance the family-centered philosophy of the parenting experience by preparing children for the impact of the upcoming birth of a sibling.
