Welcome to Valley Presbyterian Hospital Volunteer Services

 

At Valley Presbyterian Hospital we know how vital our volunteers are to our hospital. They are an important part of the hospital because they help deliver personalized care to our patients and visitors. The volunteers donate countless hours of their time to giving back to their community. Our volunteers, who come from the surrounding communities, realize how a friendly smile and helping hand can make a difference in someone's life. Our diverse groups of volunteers range in age from 14 to 85 years old.

ABOUT VOLUNTEERING:
Volunteer positions at Valley Presbyterian Hospital are as unique and interesting as the people who fill them. The volunteer opportunities vary based on each volunteer's area of interest and available time. The Volunteer Services Department works with you and the departments to find a suitable match. Volunteers serve throughout our hospital in a variety of areas ranging from admitting, to the escort office, gift shop, information desks, and nursing units.
