The Volunteer Services Department at BMC is dedicated to helping BMC fulfill its mission of providing consistently excellent and accessible health services to all in need of care, regardless of status or ability to pay. Our volunteers are an invaluable asset to the medical center and support staff, patients, families and visitors.
Volunteers assist the BMC community with services that support the hospital's mission. Opportunities include working in pediatrics, visiting with patients in geriatrics, welcoming people to the campus and helping them find their way, rolling an entertainment cart filled with books, games and puzzles for people waiting for appointments, helping with administrative duties - and so much more!
Volunteer Services helps departments identify volunteer needs, develop position descriptions, identify and recruit potential volunteers, shepherd applicants through the BMC onboarding process, provide orientation and support new volunteers as they report to their departments and assignments. It is challenging, exciting, rewarding and FUN!
Volunteering at BMC helps people, cares for people, extends compassion to people. Come join the team!
