Since 1986, Brenner Children’s Hospital has had one goal: to make sure every child gets the best care.
We’ve worked tirelessly over the years - from becoming the Triad region’s first and only children’s hospital to providing expert pediatric specialty care. We have the highest NICU designation possible for our smallest babies, as well as one of the state’s only Level I Children’s Surgery Centers, and have trained generations of health care leaders through Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
We’ll never stop looking for ways to make your child’s care even better. That’s why we’re excited to now be part of Atrium Health Levine Children’s and expand our integrated family of care across the Southeast. Together, we’re uniting some of the best and brightest in pediatric care, including our experts at Brenner Children’s Hospital and Wake Forest University School of Medicine, to better serve patients close to home - and from around the world.
Everything you know and love about Brenner Children’s Hospital and your pediatric care team is here to stay - now with even more. More access to care. More groundbreaking treatments and clinical trials. All with the continued confidence your child is exactly where they need to be.
General Interests
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 visit assigned patients regularly and use active listening skills to check in on their needs and provide emotional support. We also have volunteers who visit with activity carts and fresh baked cookies (at some locations) to lift their spirits.
Pet/Animal Assisted Therapy
Our four-legged friends and their volunteer handlers bring joy and reduce anxiety for patients, visitors and teammates through our animal assisted therapy program. Dogs and at some sites, miniature horses, must be certified for animal assisted (pet) therapy and visit throughout our hospitals. They are beloved by all!
Guest Services/Department Reception
Be the face of the department as your welcome patients and visitors and assist them to get settled and prepared for their appointment. Volunteers play a key role in decreasing patient's anxiety by providing a warm and welcoming approach focused on setting the stage for a successful visit. Volunteers also help patient's loved ones adjust and provide constant communication to them in areas where procedures or day surgeries may be taking place. Our goal is to provide that caring and emotionally supportive environment for the department.
Patient Enrichment Activity Volunteers
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!
Musical Talent Opportunities
Our volunteer musicians visit patients and gathering spaces within our hospitals to play music that provides a soothing escape from pain and isolation. Musicians typically play instruments such as piano (many hospitals have one in their main entrance area), flute, harp, or any stringed instrument. Their talent is a gift to all -- our patients, teammates and visitors!
