Volunteer at the Hospital

The most patient interaction of the three volunteer options.

Hospital volunteer

Nurture, support and serve through a variety of roles.

Family faculty/speaker

Individuals provide presentations through stories about their lives, both inside and outside the hospital. They share strategies for collaboration and teach partnership practices through real life experiences from a patient and family perspective.

Peer partner

Currently, peer partner programs are serving in the Orthopedic and Laryngectomy departments. Peer Partners provide Virginia Mason Franciscan Health patients with a connection to another person who has undergone a similar experience.

Testimonials

I like the personal interactions with patients and how close you get with specific patients and I like that they are outpatients so you can offer them more things (like food.)
—Chrissy

I like to help people and this hospital makes it easier to help nurses and patients in the emergency setting.
