Description

Show that you care and make a difference by volunteering to support unit staff with non-patient care related tasks. Gain a unique and invaluable perspective on health and make meaningful connections with both staff and patients. The unit support volunteer supports staff by keeping supply room stocked, providing a friendly face to patients, running errands throughout the hospital, and assisting with discharging patients.

Current Units with availability:

Cardio Unit

Station 3500/3940 is a 26 bed intermediate care plus 6 bed ICU unit. We care for cardiac telemetry patients, intermediate care, and post-cardiac surgical ICU patients.

Shifts: Tuesdays and Thursdays 12pm-3pm

Neuro/Spine Unit

The neuro/spine unit is a 32 bed unit caring for patients who have had strokes and spine surgery. The team values their positive atmosphere and culture of teamwork to ensure patients have a positive experience. Many of our patients would appreciate the extra time this unit support could provide to play games and keep them company when loved ones are not able to be present.  

Shifts: Tuesdays and Thursdays 11am-2pm

*Age Requirement for Neuro/Spine

Because volunteers might interact with patients with dementia and other brain disorders, volunteers must be at least 17 years old.
