Hartford Hospital Mobility Volunteer

The Hartford Hospital Mobility volunteer program provides support to patients that need assistance and encouragement to get out of bed and walk to help maintain functional status. Overseen by the department of Rehabilitation, volunteers are trained to function in this role on assigned nursing units interacting directly with patients and staff.

More information can be learned in the video on this website: https://hartfordhospital.org/health-professionals/for-job-seekers/volunteer/volunteer-opportunities (scroll down to Mobility is Medicine). This is a great opportunity to develop inter-personal skills while supporting patient health and becoming familiar with the acute care environment.
