The Oneida Healthcare Center Hospital Volunteer Department consists of adult men and women, teenagers and Auxilians who join forces to supplement the activities of the regular hospital staff and perform services which will contribute to a pleasant environment for our patients, visitors and employees. This also helps OHC maintain positive relations between the hospital and community.
Volunteer opportunities are many:
- Gain work experience
- Learn new skills
- Meet new people
- Checkout careers
- Feel needed and appreciated
- Perform various duties and enjoy recognition for it
- Build self confidence by helping others
Volunteers can be seen at both information desks; in the Gift Shop; acting as messengers; doing clerical work; helping at the Diabetic Clinic and installing Lifeline( emergency response systems in homes. Volunteers do make a difference at OHC!
If you would like to become part of this very special group of people, give the Volunteer office a call (361-2049) Monday through Friday - 8am until 5pm or send an email message to twelcher@oneidahealthcare.org.
