Volunteer Opportunities

Want to join a team of volunteers making a positive impact on delivering quality care every day?

Each year St. Mary’s is fortunate to have volunteers donate hundreds of hours of service to the hospital. By committing just a few hours a week you can have a huge impact on the St. Mary’s patient experience. No background in healthcare is necessary!
