Volunteering with Riverside Regional Medical Center is a very rewarding experience with many opportunities. As a volunteer, you will interact and assist with patients, become a part of a great hospital family, and work with others to help make a difference in our community. Our volunteers work with the public, assist visitors around the hospital, or aid members of the healthcare team throughout the hospital.
Generally, we schedule your work schedule based on your availability and the number of hours you wish to devote to the hospital and our patients. As a volunteer with Riverside, you are in control of your hours.
