Volunteers usually work a four- to six-hour shift, one to two days a week. Volunteers are matched with their area of interest, day/time desired, and position opening. Adult volunteers become a member of the Hospital Auxiliary. For over 50 years, the Auxiliary has been an active supporter of the hospital. The Auxiliary is a nonprofit, self-governing membership organization. It provides financial support for patient care projects, healthcare scholarships, and community agencies. Membership dues are $5.00 annually.
Summer VolunTEEN Program
Thomas Hospitals offers a volunteer program for students ages 14-18 during the summer months only. Applications for this program are accepted beginning March 1 of every year. Students are encouraged to submit applications early because space is limited. You are given your choice of volunteering at either Thomas Memorial or Saint Francis Hospital. Students must commit to working at least six weeks/fours hours per week, from the middle of June through the end of July. Fill out the form below to apply.
