Victoria Volunteers

The face of volunteering at Saint John's Health System is as varied as the individual. With the introduction of several new programs, anyone interested in finding a meaningful volunteer experience can find it as a Saint John's volunteer.

The hundreds of volunteers at Saint John's are integral members of our health care delivery team. Volunteer opportunities continue to grow.

Volunteering at Saint John's has so many benefits. Most importantly, volunteers value being part of a health care team, partnering with employees in our ministry of serving others. Some volunteers have direct patient contact, while others serve behind the scenes.

We have volunteer opportunities to match everyone's interests, experiences and schedule. Most volunteer assignments require no previous experience. You determine how often you can serve. 

Family volunteering is becoming popular in many service areas across the country. Here at Saint John's, mothers and daughters can schedule their volunteering for the same day. One might be at the Information Desk and the other serving in the Emergency Room. They could have lunch together and meet again at the end of the day to go home together.

Besides family volunteering, Saint John's has several unique volunteering programs currently flourishing:

• The Junior Volunteer Program has approximately 42 teenagers serving in various areas.
• Loving Hands for Babies is a sewing and knitting group that has grown to membership of 50. They have expanded their work to provide baby clothing for the Healthy Families program, in addition to caps, mitts, kimonos, blankets and bereavement kits made for the Saint John's Birthing Center.
• Healthy Friends involves costumed characters and a narrator giving health presentations to schools.
