Our volunteers are an integral part of Orange City Area Health System’s commitment to quality, compassionate patient care. Volunteers truly make a difference every day - helping patients and visitors, working in the Gift Garden, serving as escorts and drivers, sharing their gifts with our patrons and employees, and serving our nursing homes, retirement community, and Hospice patients and their families with their time.

Application process

Complete the volunteer application and checklist of interests. Be sure to specify the days of the week you are available. You must have the willingness and ability to make a commitment to your chosen assignment. Consider carefully whether the time commitment will fit your schedule. Our staff, patients, residents, and families depend on you. To ensure patient privacy, all volunteers are asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, and are expected to maintain a code of confidentiality regarding patients, residents and staff. Breach of confidentiality may result in immediate dismissal. As required by federal law, all volunteers are required to have a TB test and complete a health questionnaire as part of the orientation process. Background checks may also be run on volunteers.
