    Create a Calm Environment for Patients Getting Surgery

    By volunteering in our same day surgery department, you will be a calming presence to patients and their family members who may be nervous about their procedure. As a member of the team, you will greet patients and their family members, keep family members company while they wait, and be the point of connection to the medical staff.

    • Have a welcoming and friendly presence
    • Enjoy conversing with people
    • Thrive on bringing comfort to patients and family members
    • Want to see the behind the scenes of a hospital

    No experience necessary! We will train you on everything you need to know to be successful.
