Volunteering
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.
Our adult volunteers enjoy a myriad of duties with many serving as volunteers since the hospital opened its doors. Teens, ages 16-17, there is a program available for you. Teens can volunteer after school and on school holidays. We ultimately assist teens that have chosen healthcare careers by exposing them to the healthcare setting and providing training on hospital operations.
