    Description

    We are looking for the right volunteer match for for the following departments: Labor and Delivery, NICU, Postpartum Nursery, Med Surg, Telemetry, ER, and ICU

    Our volunteers support the staff. Our volunteers do not do any task that would cause them to touch a patient. Our volunteers help the staff and hopefully bring joy to the patients they encounter.

    Some of the ways our volunteers can help: acting as runners for the staff, discharging patients by wheelchairs, round patient rooms, answer phone calls at the Nurse's Station, etc......

    If you are considering going into the medical field, this is a terrific way to explore your career choice. If you are someone who is not going into the medical field but would love to help, as the right person for placement, we would WELCOME you.

    1 shift available:

    • There are 3 shifts to select from: 8a-12p and/or 12p-4p and/or 4p-8p. We place one volunteer per shift between: 08:00 to 20:00 PST
