Volunteers are the smiling faces of the hospital. We utilize volunteers in most of the departments here at Canyon Vista Medical Center. Collectively, our volunteer program averages about 1000 hours per month. These areas include the clinical departments such as Women & Children’s Services, Acute Care, ICU/PCU, Emergency Department, and Rehabilitation Services. Our volunteers work closely with our nursing staff and technicians to lend assistance wherever needed. They help greet patients and family members, answer phones, stock small supplies, create packets, help with charts, and take items to patient rooms such as flowers or mail. We also have a Animal Assisted Therapy Program. Because of liability, volunteers are not allowed to administer any type of patient care. Our non-clinical departments include Medical Records, Client Services, Human Resources, Patient Accounts, and Nutrition & Food Services. Our Volunteers help out by making copies, data entry, putting together packets, answering phones, covering the office for meetings, and making files, and assist with food preparation.
