Volunteer Services

Hello and welcome to volunteer services at The Miriam Hospital. We are proud and honored to have people of all ages and backgrounds volunteer at The Miriam Hospital. The mission our hospital is “to inspire one another to improve the health and spirit of the lives we touch,” and in volunteer services, we are able to support and contribute to that mission every day.

Our volunteers range from junior volunteers (14 to 17 years old) to student volunteers (high school/college/trade school completing education and career development as part of their school's curriculum), to adult volunteers. We are fortunate to have a diverse group of dedicated and talents individuals that support our mission and make a difference every day to patients, families, visitors, vendors and anyone else that comes to The Miriam Hospital.

We are always looking for qualified, caring people to join our team in volunteer services.
