After nearly three years of restricting volunteers in the hospital during the pandemic, PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center is relaunching its volunteer program and will hold a series of open house events for those interested in volunteering.
“We have a number of volunteer opportunities to help us serve the community,” says Director of Volunteer Services, Michelle Domenico. “With our ongoing construction, our greatest need is volunteers that can help our patients and visitors find their way through the hospital.” Additional volunteer opportunities include shifts in the gift shop and information desk, as well as stocking carts in the Emergency Department.
If interested in volunteering, you are invited to attend one of the upcoming open house events being held in the Heath Education Center at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. Please enter at the 92nd Avenue entrance.
