Adult Volunteers
Volunteers are utilized in various ways, depending on their interests, knowledge and abilities. Volunteers are a vital part of fulfilling the hospital’s mission of maximizing the potential of patients with complex medical needs and disabilities, as they provide valuable services that contribute to the care and comfort of patients and families.
The Children’s Center Rehabilitation Hospital will provide all necessary training for volunteers who are accepted. No medical experience or knowledge is required. To work directly with patients, volunteers must be at least 17 years of age and meet the hourly service requirements for their specific assignment.
