Volunteers in this role provide fun, creative outlets and positive distractions for patients to help them fight boredom, stay positive and find joy during their hospital stay. Volunteers offer books, games, puzzles and more by bringing activity carts to the inpatient units. Volunteers may also help run organized group activities such as bingo, trivia or craft projects for our patients in rehabilitation, as part of our cancer centers or for our patients in behavioral health. It is an energizing and fun role to interact in a meaningful way with patients!
