Fundraising

Volunteers can participate in one of the many fundraising activities held throughout the year. All proceeds raised benefit various patient programs, such as Shuttle Car batteries, Comfort Cart puzzle books, magazines, eye glasses, etc., and card-making supplies.

Hospitality

Concierge – Our Concierge/Patient Transport volunteers work directly with patients and our visitors by assisting with wheelchair transportation to various locations and services within the hospital.

Greeter – Being greeted by a friendly “Hello” can make a difference to a patient or their family. Our Greeters are at the Information Desk in the main lobby and in the Emergency Department waiting room, as well as the registration area of both the hospital and the Outpatient Diagnostic Center.

Music Program – Are you blessed with the ability to play a keyboard or piano? If so, come be part of our music program. Our Volunteers play music during the lunch hour from a keyboard in the chapel, located on the main floor of the hospital. It is a welcomed sound echoing through the main concourse.

Patient and Visitor Experience

Comfort Cart – Put your people skills to work as you round the hospital with our Comfort Cart, distributing complimentary writing supplies, cards, newspapers, magazines, and puzzle books while you interact with patients and families within the hospital.

Campus Shuttle Driver – Shuttle drivers make a difference for our patients and visitors by providing rides to and from the Main Entrance, visitor parking lots, and hospital annex building, as needed.
