Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds help provide needed services at Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center to help us in meeting the healthcare needs of those we serve.

Volunteers serve in many departments within Thomasville Medical Center and we are always looking for grateful patients and other community or corporate members who are interested in donating their gift of time and talent to help improve the quality of care we provide. Your generous support helps improve our facility.

Volunteers perform these services, and others:

• Visit patients to assist with non-medical needs and offer emotional support
• Serve as reception and information clerks
• Assist visitors and patients with directions
• Transport patients/visitors.

Volunteen/Junior Volunteers

For teens ages 13-18, our Volunteen program offers an opportunity to serve during the summer. Teens are trained and supervised by the community relations manager. We are looking for students who can make a dependable commitment of one shift per week, three- or four-hours long, for the entire program. There are no evening or weekend shifts available. Students who are interested in serving in a healthcare setting and who feel they can meet our expectations are invited to apply.

College students also donate their time during the school year and summer by serving in a variety of departments where they can observe the delivery of healthcare services to patients and families.

Applying

Each volunteer completes an application, orientation, and a health screening; then, training in the designated area before s/he begins to volunteer.
