Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers at Bayshore Community Hospital and its affiliates have a wide variety of jobs to choose from and can work in either patient or nonpatient areas.

Emergency Department Advocates
Volunteers assist Emergency Department staff by transporting patients to X-ray, helping with tray distribution, delivering specimens to the lab and filing charts. Emergency Department Volunteer Advocates help by providing information to family members on patient care and act as a liaison between the emergency staff and the patient.

Messenger Service
If you like to be on-the-go, this is the job for you! Some responsibilities of a messenger include helping discharge patients, assisting staff with daily tasks, running errands and helping assemble charts for the nursing floors.

Gift Shop
Volunteers operate the cash register and lottery machine, take inventory, and gift wrap merchandise. This is an excellent opportunity to meet, greet and help people in a pleasant surrounding.

Assisting with Patients
Volunteers help feed patients, read to them, make beds and answer call bells.

Information Desk
Volunteers help create a first impression by greeting visitors and patients. They give directions and patient information, as well as provide wheelchair service when necessary. If you are friendly and outgoing, this might be the perfect opportunity for you!

Senior Services
Volunteers work with the geriatric population in our nursing home, assisted living residence and adult day care facilities by visiting, feeding, transporting and assisting staff with recreation.

Greeters/Escort Volunteers
Patients registering in the Outpatient Department are now greeted in a friendly and pleasant manner by a volunteer who signs them in and assists with any insurance papers or references needed. The volunteer will also escort the patient (by wheelchair if necessary) to the treatment or testing area. Volunteers are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

RAP Program (Residents Assistance Program)
Teen Volunteers (ages 14-18) can become involved in this after-school program that offers teen interaction with seniors. Teens from area hospitals report to Bayshore Health Care Center (nursing home) to help transport residents to the dining room and spend the dinner hour talking and helping to feed them. This program runs from Monday to Friday from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

Volunteer Rewards
Aside from the personal satisfaction Volunteers receive by giving of their time, our Volunteers receive complimentary meals at the cafeteria, enjoy holiday parties and award recognition dinners, free parking invitations to corporate events and social interaction with staff and peers.
