Greater Volunteer Programs
GBMC Offers It All!

At GBMC, our volunteers are an extension of our hospital staff and provide support throughout the hospital. To ensure that we have secured the right opportunities for the right people, we are committed to matching the skills and talents of all prospective volunteers to the needs of the hospital. GBMC offers two distinct volunteer programs -- one for adults interested in year-round opportunities and the other for high school students interested in devoting time during their summer hiatus.

Both programs offer a full range of volunteering options, from direct and partial patient involvement to non-patient responsibilities. For instance, GBMC volunteers assist new patients entering the Medical Center, and help patients upon discharge. Some volunteers assist our medical unit staffs, act as a liaison for patients and their families during their hospital stay, or perform administrative and clerical tasks. Other volunteers lead fund-raising projects and events such as our Nearly New sales or our Auxilliary-Sponsored sales; some help maximize sales in GBMC's Gift Shop or lend their expertise in our Boutique; while others share their artistic talents in flower arranging, or offer spiritual support and emotional reassurance to patients and their families facing life's challenges.
