Each year, volunteers dedicate thousands of hours of service to facilitate the work of MedStar St. Mary's Hospital. By generously donating their time and talents, they are able to meet new people, help the community and explore healthcare careers. Members of the volunteer program at MedStar St. Mary's are an integral part of our long-standing reputation of excellence and quality care. At MedStar St. Mary's, we match volunteers to open positions based on individual interests, skills, talents and availability. We ask that volunteers be willing to commit to at least four to six months of service. Our volunteers include adults, juniors, interfaith chaplains, and emergency drivers. All individuals, without regard to race, color, national origin or ancestry, sex, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or physical or mental abilities, have a right to apply to MedStar St. Mary's Hospital for volunteer status, except for the specific age requirements stated. Volunteers are required to attend orientation and training sessions, and agree to learn and abide by hospital regulations. All volunteers are required to attend annual in-services on infection control; standard precautions; safety and security; hazardous and toxic substances; proper body mechanics; risk management; confidentiality; and customer service. All volunteers must also obtain a PPD test annually. For more information about volunteer opportunities at this hospital, visit the Saint Mary's Hospital volunteer website.
