Volunteer Remotely from Home!
Our Virtual Volunteer Program is designed to support both patients and staff by connecting volunteers with patients during their hospital stay. Volunteers place calls to check on patients’ comfort, ask if they need any items, share hospital visitation guidelines, and collect staff recognition that patients would like shared with unit leaders.

Virtual volunteers can work remote from home while still providing meaningful support for our patients through a variety of programs. The Concierge Admission Program supports newly admitted patients with a phone call from a virtual volunteer to discuss their stay, identify any needs they may have while with us and assist with concerns. Volunteers call patients from home to any one of our hospitals. Virtual volunteers can also serve as remote witnesses for patients who need an advance directive for care and assist with hospitalized patients during elections to provide guidance on how they can vote using a proxy. Many more virtual experiences are being developed thanks to our wonderful virtual volunteers!
