More than 200 adult and junior volunteers support programs and services through their work at BMH. Volunteers serve for many reasons and the reward is both to the hospital departments who value their participation and to the volunteer who is recognized as contributing to the hospital¹s mission of quality patient care. Volunteers serve in the transportation department, where they transport patients to and from various areas within the hospital, the Information Desk, the Coffee and Gift Shops, the Ambulatory Care Unit, Human Resources and more than 20 other departments.

Volunteers may be retired persons interested in working a few scheduled hours a week, mothers with extra hours to give while their children are at school or young adults interested in pursuing a career in health care. Anyone interested in helping us fulfill our patient- oriented mission is welcome to serve as a volunteer at BMH. Volunteers are matched to positions based on interest, schedule and ability.
