Volunteer Programs
The Memorial Regional Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary is a dynamic membership organization whose members provide patient and hospital support, fundraising and community outreach.
In addition to organizing and overseeing all volunteer activities in the hospital, the auxiliary has raised millions of dollars for hospital services and improvements.
Memorial Regional Hospital has a wide variety of volunteer jobs for anyone who wants to help others. Some positions require regular hours, while others have flexible schedules.
Volunteer work is available even for those who have limited mobility or are homebound. Auxiliary members work in many areas of the hospital, including:
Emergency Department Patient Relations
Memorial's Emergency Department is one of the busiest in the region. Patient relations volunteers greet patients and visitors, direct them to designated areas and provide information about patients when appropriate. The Emergency Department is fast-paced and stressful, requiring volunteers who are friendly, patient and compassionate.
Flower Delivery and Mailroom
These energetic volunteers make deliveries and run errands throughout the hospital. Because of the nature of the duties, volunteers must be able to walk long distances.
Gift Shop
Memorial's gift shop carries a variety of snacks, cards, floral arrangements, magazines, gift items and seasonal decorations. The volunteers are always cheerful and helpful.
Lobby Greeters and Escorts
Memorial Regional Hospital is so big that it might intimidate some visitors. Volunteer greeters and escorts are available to direct and guide visitors to the department or service needed.
Visitors Service Center
Often, patients — as well as visiting friends and family members — are not able to walk long distances. Volunteers in the Visitors Service Center transport patients and visitors, by wheelchair, when requested by a department of the hospital.
