Volunteer Positions
Gift Shop
Open Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday: 10:30 am-2 pm. The gift shop offers a nice selection of seasonal décor, signs,
figurines, jewelry, candy, gum, cards, knick knacks, and other items at
reasonable prices. New things are available every month or two.
The gift shop is staffed by volunteers, who also do all the buying and
pricing. The gift shop is located in the long hallway between the clinic
and hospital patient services; between outpatient lab and the vending area.
All funds raised from gift shop sales support Horizon Health projects.
Surgery Waiting Room
Volunteer opportunities are available in the surgery waiting room, Monday
through Friday, from 7:30-11:30 am. Volunteers work with surgery staff.
They take patients and family members to preop, answer the telephone,
update families/caregivers on a patient's status and assist them with
any needs or requests. The surgery waiting room is located in the hallway
near surgery, next to the courtyard.
Mail
Volunteers sort the mail Monday through Friday (except federal holidays).
They pick up mail around 11:15 am and place it into mail slots for hospital
departments and provider offices.
