Lower Keys Medical Center has a close bond with our island community, and volunteering offers residents the opportunity to be a part of that bond. To participate as an adult volunteer, we require that you be at least 18 years of age and committed to volunteer at least three hours per week for at least six months on a regularly scheduled basis. As an adult volunteer you have the chance to volunteer in many different areas of our hospital.
