Volunteering

Volunteering Offers Something for Everyone

Aiken Regional Medical Centers’ Volunteer Program welcomes people of all ages. Volunteers are retirees, professionals, homemakers, students, part-time residents and men and women of all backgrounds who live in surrounding communities. They are very special people who have one common purpose—they want to help others and make a difference.

Volunteers have played a vital role at Aiken Regional Medical Centers since 1976. They are an important part of the hospital “family,” donating their time and talents and working closely with the staff to make a hospital stay more comfortable for patients and their families.

Ways You Can Make a Difference

You don’t need special skills or training to become a volunteer. Every volunteer brings his or her individual interests, talents and experience to the volunteer program, and each plays a unique and important role.

Each prospective volunteer is interviewed, and together the staff determines where your interests and skills best match the needs of the hospital. Once you have chosen your service area in the hospital, you will receive a thorough orientation and on-the-job training. Volunteers are assigned to work one three- or four-hour shift per week, and many of the dedicated volunteers work more frequently.

Benefits of Volunteering

In addition to helping others and meeting new friends, you may also enjoy the chance to learn new skills and develop new interests. As an Aiken Regional Medical Centers volunteer, you will be invited to an annual recognition banquet, participate in hospital social activities and receive service pins, and a complimentary meal in the hospital cafeteria for each three or four hour shift you volunteer.

The Rewards Are Great!
