Our volunteers

While our volunteers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences, they all have three things in common: a desire to be useful in their community, to help others in need and to make a difference.

How our volunteers help

Volunteers perform a number of important roles, including:


  • Guiding patients and escorting visitors around the hospital
  • Arranging and placing flowers in patient rooms
  • Providing support to our renal and chemotherapy patients
