Our Volunteer Program is a vital part of our organization and is not just for retirees. In fact, our volunteers are men and women of all ages – people in their teens, 20s, 30s, and beyond – who help out at the Emory DeKalb Operating Unit, which includes Emory Decatur Hospital, Emory Hillandale Hospital, and Emory Long-Term Acute Care. The contribution of time and caring made by our volunteers enables us to provide patients with the highest level of care and attention. Volunteers support several different hospital departments:
- Breast Center
- Oncology Unit
- Nursing Units
- ICU Waiting Room
- Wellness Center
- Information Desk
- Wayfinding
- Patient Visits
- and other areas as needed
Volunteers are asked to serve a minimum of one day per week for a 4-hour shift, and to participate in training and annual in-service meetings. Whether you're interested in healthcare or are simply looking for a way to serve others, you'll find what you're looking for as a volunteer at one of our facilities.
Please note: Volunteer Services does not provide shadowing, observation, internships, externships or clinical experiences. Additionally, we are unable to provide volunteer opportunities for court-ordered community service. The Volunteer Services Department is not affiliated with the Human Resources Department or any facet of employment service. Volunteering is not a pathway to employment.
