According to a University of Michigan study, doing
regular volunteer work, more than any other activity, dramatically
increases life expectancy. Research shows that volunteering increases
energy and self-esteem, as well as bolsters your immune system and
overall vitality, and is literally and figuratively good for your
heart.
Volunteers at St. Mary's Medical Center
are critical to the operation of the center. Without the more
than 40,000 volunteer hours donated each year, the center would
not be able to provide some essential services and programs. That's
one of the reasons why volunteers find their work so satisfying.
Our goal for anyone who volunteers is to enjoy what they are doing.
If you are looking for a way to become involved in a gratifying
service by contributing your time, energy and skills, we invite
you to share in the fellowship, friendship and celebration of achievements
that come from giving.
Something for Everyone
Volunteer Services encourages new members to share
their unique talents in ways that may be new to the center. The
diverse areas of volunteer opportunities allow members to match
their skills with the many openings throughout the center. Some
volunteers choose areas that relate to what they do or used to do
for a living. Others choose areas that are totally new challenges
for them. Either way, Volunteer Services works hard to help volunteers
find the perfect position for them. We'll be flexible with your
schedule and we'll prepare you for any duties and make them as fulfilling
and enjoyable as possible.
Opportunities
We offer you a number of opportunities to make a
meaningful difference in the lives of others. Positions are available
in a number of patient-related and non-patient related activities.
Patient-related activities range from assisting with feeding patients
to support in visitor waiting rooms and clinical departments to
transporting patients between departments within the center.
With regard to non-patient related activities, volunteers
provide critical services at our Information Desk by managing the
patient information line and escorting patients and visitors to
services within the center.
These positions mentioned above are only a few of
the many activities you can select. We can offer you opportunities
for meeting new people and building new friendships, learning new
skills and enjoying the personal rewards of making a difference
in the lives of others.
How to Participate
Our volunteers are eager to meet you, hear what
you want to do, get you started and watch you enjoy the pleasures
of giving.
