“The heart of a volunteer is never measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.” DeAnn Hollis
Valleywise Health volunteers play a huge role in keeping our patients comfortable, happy and calm while also ensuring our facilities run smoothly and efficiently. There are many ways for volunteers to get involved, including reception, patient communication, transportation services and much, much more.
We are also happy to offer our patients special pet therapy and music enrichment thanks to our enthusiastic and compassionate volunteers. These services can play a major role in making our patients’ treatment more comfortable and easing their stress, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
Volunteering at Valleywise Health is an unexplainable feeling. Once I walk through the hallways of the hospital, the outside world doesn't exist. I walk into a world where all patients are top priority. Jocelyn R.
