Why Volunteer?
Working side by side with the professional staff at Catholic Health, our volunteers give their time and talents in nearly every area of the hospital.
- Volunteering can give you personal satisfaction to know that you are doing kind acts for others.
- It is a chance to put past experience and skills to work for a charitable cause.
- It is an opportunity to learn and participate in the activities of a hospital environment, helping you to achieve future career or academic goals.
Who Can Volunteer?
Volunteer opportunities are available to both individuals and groups at all of our Catholic Health Ministries. Please contact Heide Cornell, CAVS, Director, Volunteer Services at (716) 319-8405 to see how and where you can help!
