Our volunteers are men and women from varied backgrounds, with different abilities and motivations for volunteering. They share a common interest in helping others and a firm commitment to being a vital, caring member of our health care team.
The Volunteer Department is “decentralized” - all volunteers are assigned to specific departments. To ensure a meaningful volunteer experience, we attempt to place individuals in areas where their skills, talents, interests, and abilities would best match a department’s need.
