Volunteers Are Vital to Southcoast Health
Volunteers play an important role at Southcoast Health. They assist hospital employees directly in caring for patients and visitors and perform many other critical functions as well. Their presence helps hospitals run more smoothly by allowing doctors, nurses and other staff to focus on providing the best healthcare for patients.
A variety of Southcoast Health departments depend on volunteers with many kinds of skills. Our Southcoast Health volunteers come from varied backgrounds and bring unique skills and talents. Every volunteer is essential to the care and services we provide to our community and to our patients.
Southcoast Health is very proud of our volunteer program and services. We are fortunate to have approximately 500-plus volunteers donating their time and serving in many facets of the health system.
