Ways to Give to St. Dominic's Hospital

More About Volunteering 

Volunteers are a very valuable asset to St. Dominic's Hospital. Volunteers not only serve as support for our team members but also provide patients and visitors with an extra touch of personal customer service. The many services provided by our volunteers are an essential part of the continued success of St. Dominic’s healing ministry.

Volunteer Opportunities

Our wonderful volunteers are called on to help with a variety of important duties and activities that assist our patients, visitors, patient family members and hospital team members. St. Dominic's Hospital offers a variety of volunteer positions, including presiding over information desks, directing waiting room guests, wayfinding and locating wheelchairs, environmental services surveying, pastoral care rounding and other purposeful behind-the scenes efforts. Volunteer Services also offers “at home” projects for volunteers who are home bound or unable to report to the hospital. Some of these projects include knitting caps for oncology patients, knitting washcloths for babies in the NICU, as well as making rosaries and other heart-felt comfort measures for guests and patients. Whatever your gift or talent may be, the only thing a person really needs to volunteer is a heart for service!
