Volunteers
The volunteer program is on hold until further notice. We are not currently accepting applications for new volunteers.
The heart of a volunteer cannot be replicated. They bring comfort and joy to those being cared for during difficult times of hospitalization. Our volunteers are acutely aware that the individuals in our hospital beds aren鈥檛 just patients: they鈥檙e family, friends and neighbors in need of a helping hand. Our volunteers often describe the work they perform as both fulfilling and heartwarming. Through the work they do and joy they bring to patients, visitors and staff, volunteers truly capture our mission of 鈥淟iving God鈥檚 love by inspiring, health, wholeness and hope.鈥� The selfless individuals who give their time, energy and talents to our community hospital embody the best humanity has to offer. We are thrilled you鈥檙e considering becoming part of our team.
