Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber
Volunteer Program
We have over 30 different hospital assignments that provide
volunteers with activities ranging from direct care interaction with
patients, to helping families find their way around the facility,
answering general questions and indirect care that provides behind
the scene support to our professional staff.
All hospital volunteers are carefully screened, trained, given
appropriate assignments and required to follow hospital policies and
procedures. The screening process includes a criminal background
check, health screening, an interview and orientation training. We
take the time to do it right in order to ensure the safety and
well-being of patients and families. The screening and training
process also gives the volunteer the confidence needed for a
successful experience.
