Volunteer as a Family
Volunteering doesn’t have to be done alone. We have opportunities that include the family. Even your dog can join in on the fun once they complete proper training.
Opportunities
- Patient Library Cart (Petrie Division)
Volunteers provide reading material – current books and magazines - to our adult patients.
- Pediatric In-Patient Playroom (Petrie Division)
Volunteers play and entertain children with board games, computer games, arts and crafts while they are in the medical center.
- Pet Assisted Activities Program (Petrie Division & Kings Highway Division)
Volunteers who have a dog and would like to share their dog with our patients can become part of our Pet Assisted Team after completing a training course from the Good Dog Foundation. Once you and your dog pass the training you will be able to visit patients.
- Reach Out and Read Program (Phillips Ambulatory Care Center)
Volunteers read aloud to our littlest patients as they wait to see their primary care physician.
