There is a great need for volunteers in this service position.
Be another friendly face as people enter the main entrance of the hospital. Assist patients to safely get to their appointment within the hospital either by walking with them or by assisting with wheelchair transport.
You will be trained on how to operate a wheelchair and learn the different offices and services where a patient/visitor may be going within the building. This is a physical service position as you will be walking around the hospital throughout your time here.

Flexible hours during visitation hours of 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
While the staff is out making deliveries throughout the hospital, the materials management department would be grateful for a volunteer to be on hand to welcome UPS and FedEx.
