Volunteerism is one of many ways in which
Grace Hill enjoys strong community support.
The goal of the Volunteer Services Program is to place volunteers in Grace Hill’s Health Centers to expand and enhance the services that Grace Hill provides to its patients, while providing a rewarding experience for volunteers. Volunteer opportunities are nearly endless, and GHHC volunteers range in age from 14 to 84. They play an indispensable role in keeping the health centers running smoothly.
A volunteer’s time and skills are greatly appreciated, and many volunteers often have special skills to offer that do not fit into one of the listed categories. Grace Hill’s Volunteer Services Program is usually able to create a special volunteer opportunity just for them. Following are a few of the areas where volunteers have provided services:
Clerical – Volunteers provide clerical support – including addressing envelopes, faxing, mailing and delivering correspondence, filing and copying.
Homeless – Volunteer Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Nurses provide primary care
services to the homeless residents and respite care patients on-site at some of the larger
homeless shelters.
Nursing – Volunteers assist health center nursing staff with a variety of non-medical duties.
Pharmacy – Volunteers assist with greeting patients, receiving incoming prescriptions from
patients, and answering phones.
GHHC also collaborates with AARP and area colleges to help seniors and students gain job training and work experience. In 2007, 212 volunteers dedicated almost 21,000 hours of service.
