DMH Auxiliary Program:

We greatly support volunteers of any kind. Office support volunteers can serve in the department that best fits their level of skill and interest. Assignments may include receptionist duties, filing, collating, delivering materials, organizing supplies, or computer data entry. If you enjoy office work, are organized and pay attention to detail...then an office position may be right for you. Volunteers that wish to have a great deal of people interaction are encouraged to apply for a position dealing with patients and their families. We welcome all enthusiastic people to volunteer anywhere they feel comfortable.

Doctors’ Memorial Hospital volunteer services is a very warm and friendly volunteer environment. Energetic and positive people are encouraged to apply. With an upbeat attitude, volunteers feel rewarded for enhancing the quality of patient care, as well as providing support services for the professional staff. Volunteers receive the inner satisfaction which comes from helping others and the pride of accomplishment in a job well-done. Volunteers also have the opportunity to learn new skills, to develop new interests, to make friends, and grow in personal understanding.

Your talents and your time can make a difference in the life of people who are experiencing a difficult and stressful time.

Volunteer Chaplain Program:

Often during the course of serious illnesses, patients and their families and friends can be caught up in a bewildering schedule of medications, treatments, doctor visits, surgeries and tests. They may struggle with fear and uncertainty about decisions and eventual outcomes. Sometimes end-of-life issues must be confronted.

At DMH, we understand that healing involves the whole person - body, mind, spirit and soul. For this reason, a Chaplain is on call to offer his/her services to patients and their loved ones. Patients or concerned family members may request visits with the Chaplain on call at any time during their hospital stay.
