Volunteering, Close to Home
Our Branson volunteers can choose between a wide variety of volunteering opportunities. Specific needs can vary, but our volunteers help staff information desks and deliver mail, help patients with food orders, escort patients between hospital departments or upon release, and much more.
Hospital and Hospice volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Our youth volunteer program –Volunteens – is a great way for students ages 16 – 18 to get involved and learn the benefits of volunteering.
When you’re ready, volunteering here is easy. You’ll complete and application and an interview, our orientation process and a health screening. We also require our volunteers to sign a confidentiality agreement – patient privacy is our priority.
A few things to note: You’ll need to adhere to our dress code for volunteers, and commit to volunteering at least 100 hours a year. If you’re ready to learn how you can make an impact in your community, call us a 417-335-7114 today.
