Information Desk:

Information desk volunteers on the main floor answer questions visitors and callers have about the location of patients and hospital services. They also sort patient mail. Good people, phone and computer skills are needed for this job.

Reception Desks:

Located off the main elevators on each patient floor, the volunteers at these desks assist the nurses on that floor with paperwork, phone calls, collation of material, etc. Good people and phone skills are needed for this job.

Hospitality Desk:

Volunteers transport patients being admitted or discharged from the hospital. They also deliver patient mail and run errands for the Department staff where they are located.

Express Test:

Volunteers greet patients who come for testing or to be admitted. They also begin the registration process for patients.

Gift Shop:

Volunteers work in this retail environment as cashier, stocking, selling and ordering supplies. The proceeds from the Gift Shop are used to purchase needed equipment for the hospital.

UTCC:

Volunteers in this area work with the elderly and those recovering from surgery. Have fun calling Bingo or helping with a seasonal party or visiting with patients. These volunteers also help the Activities Coordinator with various projects and paperwork.

Critical Care Desk:

Volunteers are located at the nurses station controlling the flow of visitors into the department, answering the phone, along with some clerical duties.

Cheer Cart:

Volunteers travel throughout the waiting areas and patient rooms to cheer them with free gifts from the cart.

You might work closely with the patients and their families by providing companionship, love and understanding or you might help with the clerical work at the office, work on special projects, help with fund raising, the speakers' bureau or assist with the bereavement program. Call today and become one of our much-needed volunteers.
