Volunteering

Volunteers work in the retail environment as cashier, stocking, and selling. The proceeds from the Gift Shop are used to purchase needed equipment for the hospital. The Gift Shop carries all types of merchandise, flowers, books and gift items.

Volunteers are located at the desk inside the unit controlling the flow of visitors into the department, answering the phone, along with some clerical duties.

If you like people and are interested in helping the patients at UHC you would enjoy making rounds to assist patients with non-clinical needs such as helping with meal trays, meal orders, assisting with the comfort of patients by getting them warm blankets, pillows, water or ice and in many other ways. If you are interested, please click on the application link and send it to us!
