Volunteers

Your time, talent and special touch are greatly needed. In return, enjoy new friendships and a great deal of personal satisfaction. Volunteers help make that difference. By offering their time, our volunteers provide support, encouragement and a fresh perspective to patients and the hospital. In return, volunteers become part of our family, and they join the team of physicians, nurses, staff members and others who make our patients feel at home.

Volunteer opportunities exist in many areas from 8:00am to 8:00pm, seven days a week. Our seasoned volunteers work closely with each new volunteer to find an assignment matching his or her interests, skills and motivation.

Our VolunTeen Program applications are accepted year-round. This is an excellent way to achieve those community service hours needed for local and state college scholarships, as well as explore a career in healthcare.

In addition to helping others and meeting new friends, you may also enjoy the chance to learn new skills and develop new interests. Other benefits include:

• Annual recognition banquet
• Participate in hospital social activities
• Complimentary meal with each shift worked
• Annual flu shot
• One complimentary volunteer uniform

If you are available for four-hour shifts, one or several times a week, and would like to volunteer for a worthwhile cause, we need you!

Please consider volunteering at JFK Hospital. Volunteer requirements include:

• A background check (provided by the hospital)
• A completed written application
• A PPD tuberculin skin test (provided by the hospital)
• Attending a hospital orientation
• The ability to work 50 hours or more annually

The Volunteer Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Call (561) 548-1357 or email us.
