Volunteer at Covenant Health

Our volunteers donate countless hours of service to Covenant Health hospitals and facilities. Their commitment and compassion toward our patients, staff and communities are important to our member organization. Our volunteers say they enjoy making a difference in the lives of others, and they enjoy the experiences and friendships that are part of volunteering at Covenant Health. Do you have a few hours per week to volunteer at your local hospital or another Covenant Health organization?

Responsibilities for hospital volunteers vary by facility. Roles may include greeting patients, escorting people to their destina­tions, and serving as support persons for patients, families, visitors, staff and physicians. Volunteers may also assist in the registration and admission departments, stock supplies, or bring water and blankets to those in an inpatient room. Volunteers offer kind words to those in vulnerable situations. Volunteers play an important role in making sure patients and families are comfortable, whether in a waiting room or an individual’s hospital room.
