What it Means to Volunteer at University Hospital
At 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.
Possible Placement Areas:
Office Volunteers
Patient Transport
Waiting Room Volunteers
Nurses’ Station/Jolly Trolley Volunteers
Gift Shop
Pet Therapy Volunteers (only for those trained and certified)
Ways to Volunteer
College and Adult Volunteers
Volunteers create their schedule by selecting one 4-hour shift, on the same day and same time, to volunteer each week for a minimum commitment of six months. Applicants must be 18 years or older and are required to wear uniform tops, which cost $25. Teens are encouraged to apply in January for our Teen Summer Volunteer Program (see below).
Applicants are to submit a completed application and agree to a reference and background check. Upon acceptance, applicants will attend orientation and receive a volunteer schedule. Turning in a completed volunteer application does not signify acceptance into the volunteer program.
The Teen Volunteer Program has reached capacity for this year and is now closed.
Volunteering with University Hospital as a teen is a valuable personal growth experience as well as a wonderful way to support and invest in the community in which you live.
Teen volunteers must be 15 years of age and have completed their freshman year of high school. Volunteers are assigned one 4-hour shift on the same day and at the same time. Available shifts are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteer Summer sessions are short (June to July). Absences must be kept to a minimum. Please consider your teen’s Summer schedule before applying.
Teen volunteers are required to wear volunteer uniforms, which cost $20.
