Each day at Capital Medical Center, our volunteers play a vital role in the healing process of our patients. These special people freely offer their time in order to help others. The role of a volunteer in the hospital is to assist in achieving the hospital goals of high quality service to patients and internal staff. Volunteers provide many extra services that allow our staff to focus on patient care.

Teens, ages 14-19, there is a program available for you. Teens can volunteer after school, on school holidays, or as part of their school's internship program. We ultimately assist teens that have chosen healthcare careers.

Capital Medical Center is in need of volunteers at all skill levels to assist in all areas of the hospital, including clerical as well as patient care. If you would like to give of yourself, there is no limit of opportunities available to you.
