A friendly smile and a helping hand can make a big difference in the life of an older adult. At Masonicare Health Center (MHC), we rely on the caring spirit of volunteers to help us in our mission to enhance quality of life through an exceptional continuum of person-centered care. That means treating every person as an individual. The volunteer team is approximately 400 members strong and ranges in age from 13 to 99. Come join our team.
