They are an integral part of the health care team and help to assure the highest quality of patient care. A volunteer’s friendly, caring service is wonderful medicine for our patients and family members.
There are many rewarding opportunities to serve patients and staff, from greeting and escorting to assisting in the pharmacy as a volunteer at Springhill Medical Center.
