Special Volunteer Groups
Teen Volunteer
Established in 1958, the teen volunteer program provides high school and college students the opportunity to observe, firsthand how important quality healthcare is to the community, and how their participation helps meet the individual needs of patients and their families. Plus, our teen volunteer program can fulfill school service hour requirements.
Chaplaincy
Volunteer chaplains from our community visit Monday - Friday to address our patients' spiritual needs or to serve through intercessory prayer. We welcome volunteers who demonstrate a genuine interest in providing spiritual support for their neighbors in an interfaith healthcare setting.
Pet Assisted Therapy
Pet Assisted Therapy volunteers offer comfort to patients by bringing precious and specially trained pets to visit. Patients and families love visiting with these cuddly dogs, and even our pediatric patients enjoy a visit when they are here. Special requirements are needed to bring your pet to our facility. Contact the volunteer office for more information.
