Whether it be to meet new people, add a new dimension to their current routine, to give back to an organization that made a difference in their life or that of someone close to them, or simply to help others, volunteers are bound by a commitment to serving patients and the community.
Volunteers enter the program through an interview, a health screening and an orientation process.
We ask people to make at least a 3 month minimum commitment to service before starting. The overall process is designed specifically to protect our patients and our valuable healthcare resources. Volunteers activities hold meaning for both the individuals and the organization. In the lab, where I do most of my volunteering, the people are fun to work with. When we come here, we get a lot of work done and have fun at the same time.
