Greet visitors with a smile, get a blanket for a patient who’s feeling cold, comfort family members in the waiting room, enhance communication in the emergency departments, staff the gift shops and perform clerical duties. Some volunteers work on various special projects such as flu clinics, children’s health fairs and screenings at the hospital and in the community. Volunteers can work any time of the day or night, seven days of the week. The Volunteer Resources Department prefers volunteers commit at least four hours a week.
