Volunteer Program

Join our compassionate team as a Hospital Volunteer, where your kindness and dedication will make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients, families, and staff. Engage in a variety of supportive tasks and interactions that enhance the healing environment and foster a sense of community within our hospital. Your involvement will be invaluable in ensuring a warm and welcoming experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Our volunteer application process consists of:

  • Initial brief phone screening (to ensure that both applicant’s and hospital’s interests, needs and expectations will be met).

  • Online application form completed by applicant and returned to the hospital.
  • Medical Requirements. Depending on the position, some volunteer candidates will be required to have a physical examination and receive clearance from River Hospital Employee Health. Candidates must provide proof of all required vaccinations to Employee Health.
  • Background Check. Volunteer candidates are required to pass a background screening to ensure eligibility to volunteer in the healthcare setting. Reference checks are completed as part of the background screening.
After you have successfully completed all of the above, you will be contacted to schedule your orientation.
