It’s the time of year when ticks are out in our region. Consider these strategies for avoiding bites and the illnesses they can cause.
Volunteers at University Hospital make a difference in people's lives daily, whether they are offering a kind word to patients, working in the gift shop or raising money to purchase lifesaving equipment.
Sign UpAt USA Health University Hospital, volunteers help to comfort and tend to patients of all ages. We seek out passionate, motivated and committed individuals of all backgrounds to work in our service departments. Our volunteers are not involved in direct patient care, but contribute to University Hospital by performing clerical duties on patient floors, “driving” the Jolly Trolley cart, transporting patients and much more. University Hospital offers volunteers the opportunity to make an impact in their community, gain meaningful connections, learn new skills and explore careers in healthcare.
We accept applications year-round. However, placement in service areas are subject to space and need.
