Every
day, hundreds of our patients’ lives are enriched by volunteers.
The touch of a hand, a smiling face, or a gentle voice are the
things remembered long after recovery.
Volunteering just four hours per week can
make a big difference in someone’s life, as well as your
own. A little compassion and laughter, some giving and a touch
of friendship, are all the skills you’ll need to become a
volunteer. It’s easy, fun, and requires very little of your
time.
Commitment
Whether you’re interested in direct patient
interaction or volunteering behind the scenes, there’s a
place for you at one of our hospitals. If you’re willing
to make a commitment, you may begin volunteering at age 16. Volunteer
positions are available for all ages, in areas such as the gift
shop or fundraising events. Both short-term (we prefer no less
than sixth months) and long-term assignments are available, with
flexible hours to fit your busy schedule. All volunteers receive
specialized and professional training.
Benefits/Opportunities
As a volunteer, you’ll enjoy creating
new friendships and will feel good knowing you are making a difference
in people’s lives.
Once you’ve qualified as a volunteer,
discounts at area businesses and pharmacy services will be available.
Your volunteer experience can also be used on a resume,
a college application, or in some cases, as internship credits
toward a college degree. There are also opportunities to serve
on the Volunteer Board to further make a difference in the lives
of Munson patients.
For more information, please complete a Volunteer Application or call (231) 935-7455.
If you are a Munson Healthcare patient and have a compliment,
concern, or complaint, please contact one of our Patient
Liaisons.
