Volunteers

Nearly 211 caring volunteers at Samaritan Hospital find great joy in helping others, and their warm and friendly approach offer patients and visitors a special level of care and assistance. Not only do our volunteers enjoy helping others, but they also enjoy many benefits, including:

  • free flu shots,
  • discounts in Sam's Café,
  • free coffee and tea while on-duty,
  • invitations to Samaritan's Annual Summer Picnic and Holiday Meal,
  • and recognition at the Annual Volunteer Recognition Meal.

Individuals may choose to volunteer in any of the following services:

  • Chaplains
  • Emergency Department
  • Gift Shop
  • Messengers
  • Reception Desk
  • Tours
  • Second Floor Reception Desk
  • Special Services


    Another important role the volunteers play is raising money for Samaritan Hospital. An active Auxiliary Fundraising Committee plans special events throughout the year, including the popular Book Fairs, Card Party, Used Jewelry Sale and a Holiday Bake Sale. In addition, Gift Shop volunteers plan special sales throughout the year, with all proceeds going to Samaritan Hospital needed clinical and educational items.
