Patient Facing/Patient Care Areas
We have a variety of volunteer roles focused on supporting the inpatients and our nursing teams. Our goal is to ensure every inpatient has the support they need during their stay and an excellent patient experience. Volunteers greet patients and visitors and provide assistance to patients and staff for prompt treatment and service. They also visit assigned patients regularly and use active listening skills to check in on their needs and provide emotional support.
