Direct Patient and Family Services
Volunteers contribute greatly to the "hospital experience" of children, siblings, youth, women and families. Volunteers provide distraction and safe play environments for patients and siblings on site. Training in age and developmentally appropriate activities, infection control & isolation precautions and an online course focusing on patient/family confidentiality and privacy are required prior to starting your assignment. Volunteers must be 18+ for patient contact positions due to the privacy of our pediatric patients and the nature of the care. Previous experience with tutoring, sports coaching, mentoring or teaching is required.
All roles have a one-year commitment.
Opportunities include:
- Child Life - Sunny Hill, Emergency Department, Inpatients
- Sunny Hill Recreation and Aquatic Therapy
- Inpatient Eating Disorders Education Support
- Fun Cart
- NICU & FIR Comfort Programs
