Give the gift of time… Become a volunteer
There is nothing more powerful than a smile and an offer of assistance when you aren’t feeling well or are worried about
a family member or friend. Parkview LaGrange Hospital welcomes hundreds of patients and visitors each year. For many of them, it is a volunteer who reaches out to them as they arrive and makes a difference.
To be considered for a volunteer position, you must:
- Submit an application
- Provide proof of age (16 years or older)
- Provide one personal reference
- Complete an interview
- Be screened for TB (tuberculosis testing and reading required)
- Attend orientation
Volunteer Benefits
Our volunteers enjoy many benefits including the satisfaction that comes from helping others and learning new skills. Among the other benefits of volunteering are:
- A 10 percent discount in the gift shop
- A meal coupon on the day of volunteering. Volunteers receive the same discounts as employees in the hospital cafeteria
- A free annual flu shot
- A free annual TB screen
- A 20% discount at the gift shop during the Employee and Volunteer Appreciation Sales offered that occur several times each year
- A holiday gift
- Use of Parkview's outpatient pharmacy
Volunteer Opportunities
These are just a few of the services hospital volunteers provide:
- Guide patients and visitors to their destination
- Provide messenger or transport service for hospital staff
- Assist with clerical work
- Run the gift shop
- And many more
If you have an interest in helping others and a few hours you are able to donate once a week, Parkview LaGrange Hospital would like to invite you to become a volunteer. Volunteer opportunities are available seven days a week, particularly on evenings and weekends.
