Volunteer Services
Profile
Our valued Volunteers are a crucial part of delivering compassionate
care to our patients, their families and friends, making the every day
operations of the hospital run smoothly.
A diverse group of just over 1,000 men, women and students are actively
involved in over 50 services across three hospital sites: General
Site, Branson Site and Seniors' Health Centre.
Our valued Volunteers are often the first people many visitors speak
to, as they stop at the Information Desks at the General and Branson
Sites. Information Desk volunteers run this service 365 days a year
and are responsible for sorting and delivering thousands of pieces of
mail every week in addition to providing much needed directions to visitors,
patients, families and friends of our hospital. Gift Shop volunteers
provide an important service to the public and raise funds to support
patient care activities. In fact, the Gift Shop and other fundraising
endeavours such as our Vendor Program, have raised over $5 million for
NYGH over the last 40 years.
