Already a Volunteer?
Volunteers make our hospitals and communities a little brighter for everyone. If you have the heart and willingness to help others, we have a place for you! Our hospital welcomes new volunteers and strives to match each person’s talents and interests to the activities best suited to them.
Our volunteers have one thing in common: a dedication to service.
St. Mary's Medical Center has always relied on the generosity of volunteers. Each year, more than 1,000 volunteers serve in the hospital and throughout the community. Volunteers provide the friendly face and personal touch patients and their families need during a stressful time.
In addition to providing assistance inside the hospital, St. Mary's Medical Center volunteers reach out to members of our community through a variety of events and programs.

Why volunteer? Let us count the ways:
Before you can put on that volunteer vest and proudly wear that volunteer badge, there are a few steps you’ll need to take, including:
Anyone over the age of 16 is welcome to apply to join our volunteer family. Applications for volunteers 14-15 years of age are accepted starting in March of each year for summer volunteer positions.
Please note: Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of 50 hours of service. To meet this commitment:
If you are at least 16 years old or older, simply complete and submit the online Volunteer Application.
Once we’ve received your application, we’ll schedule an interview to get to know you better. During the interview, we will discuss your skills and interests to determine an appropriate department and position for you. Upon successful completion of a background check and TB screening, new volunteers attend an orientation training session.
You can volunteer in many positions and departments at St. Mary’s Medical Center. We offer a description of all the areas where we have volunteers so you can have an informed perspective on our volunteering opportunities.

St. Mary’s Community Connection volunteers are the heart of this program. Volunteers serve homebound older adults in the Grand Valley providing support and friendship to those who need assistance with grocery shopping, errands, medical appointments, and other everyday tasks necessary to maintaining independence. Without this help and friendship, many older adults would be forced to leave their homes for assisted living facilities or nursing homes.
If you have the time and desire to volunteer and help homebound older adults give us a call today!!
If you can’t volunteer your time but would still like to help, please consider making a contribution to Community Connections. You can help defray the transportation cost and help supplement our modest operating budget.
