A volunteer’s friendly, caring service is wonderful medicine for our patients and family members. Our volunteers receive a complete orientation and service training, and enjoy a sense of confidence they acquire in learning new skills. They are an integral part of the healthcare team and help to assure the highest quality of patient care.
There are many rewarding opportunities to serve patients and staff, from greeting to escorting to assisting in various departments as a volunteer at Springhill Medical Center. The upbeat attitude and can-do approach of Springhill Medical Center's volunteers are the perfect medicine for patients and family members.
