Volunteers In Partnership

When you join the Volunteers In Partnership with Community Memorial Hospital (VIPs), you join men and women from all walks of life. Retirees, homemakers, business professionals and others — like you — who want to share their time and talent for the benefit of our hospital, patients, and community.

As a VIP, you will become a valued member of the Community Memorial Hospital family. VIPs receive recognition for their services and are invited to participate in social events and hospital-sponsored educational programs.

We offer many opportunities to volunteer. We make every effort to place you in an area where your abilities and creative talents shine. Our volunteer opportunities include daytime, evening and weekend hours; all require a long-term commitment with a weekly assignment.

About Our Volunteer Opportunities

Although we appreciate all of the interest in volunteering at the hospital, the Community Memorial Hospital Volunteer Services Department is unable to accept students or other volunteers who are seeking to obtain the following:

  • specific or general health care experience;
  • clinical or non-clinical work experience;
  • fulfillment of mandated community service hours;
  • short-term opportunities.

Our Organizational Education and Development Department provides opportunities for Job Shadowing for high school and college students who are interested in obtaining general information about health care fields or, want to learn more about specific fields. If you are interested in Job Shadowing, please call 262-257-3240.
