Volunteers help in many ways
Guest Services
Volunteers greet patients and visitors as they enter the hospital, help them find their way, give visitor passes and deliver flowers and mail.
Crisis Center
Volunteers help the Associates in the Crisis Center update their important department database.
Emergency Department
When patients enter the Emergency Department, they are often greeted by volunteers. Volunteers also assist staff with changing beds, filling supplies in patient rooms or talking with patients who are frightened or alone.
Gift Shop
Our Gift Shops are enjoyed by patients, family members and Associates. Volunteers in the Gift Shops wait on customers, ring up sales and help keep the shop clean and tidy.
Newspaper Delivery
Each morning, patients at Centegra hospitals look forward to the morning newspaper delivered by volunteers.
Office Assistance
Many of the offices throughout Centegra benefit from volunteer help. Volunteers assist staff with various office activities such as answering phones, filing paperwork and sometimes working on the computer.
Physical Therapy
When inpatients need physical therapy, volunteers transport them by wheelchair from their room to the rehab gym. Volunteers may also plan and provide a game night for physical therapy patients.
Smile Program
Centegra volunteers help our patients stay entertained during their hospital stays by offering magazines and books for their reading enjoyment. Volunteers also teach patients how to use the Skylight system, our in-house movie channel.
Centegra Sage Cancer Center
Volunteers are often the first friendly faces that patients see when they enter the Centegra Sage Cancer Center for treatment. Volunteers also assist cancer center staff with various projects and tasks.
Transport Team
Volunteers are responsible for the safe, efficient and timely transport of patients and visitors throughout the hospital including during admissions and discharges.
Thrift Shop
When customers visit the Thrift Shop, volunteers assist them with merchandise, use the cash register to ring up sales, sort donations and stock the store.
