Burgess Health Center

Volunteer details

Burgess volunteers play a very important role setting the stage with exceptional customer service. They are the very first contact many patients have with the hospital. Burgess volunteers typically provide 9000 or more hours of their time each year. Volunteers escort patients and families, prepare scope packets and scrapbooks, and provide many miscellaneous tasks; such as preparing mailings, folding brochures, etc. They also sort and deliver departmental and patient mail and deliver juice to patients and visitors. We are fortunate to have dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. Burgess volunteers are warm and caring individuals who contribute their time and skills to make life better for our patients, visitors, staff, and community. The extra care and services our volunteers provide contribute to the quality care at Burgess. Since the opening of the original hospital during 1963, volunteers have contributed thousands of hours of volunteer service. The care they provide is invaluable to patients and families. Our volunteers also benefit by learning new skills, making new friends, and taking pleasure in knowing they are helping others. In fact, research shows that people who volunteer often enjoy better health and a greater sense of well-being.
