Volunteering @ HGB

Volunteer for Some Fun!

Who are Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital volunteers? They are people who donate their time, whether it be four hours a month, or something they do every day. They donate their skills and their talents to support our community hospital. They lend a hand wherever help is needed, from wheeling patients to waiting cars to filling a shift at the Gift Basket.

Volunteers are people who make a difference because of the role they play in meeting patients’ needs or providing essential services and lending support to our hospital community. Volunteers set an example for all of us. They work for the satisfaction of helping others.

As a volunteer at HGB, you'll enjoy many rewards. You will feel a sense of accomplishment, learn new skills, meet new people, make new friends, and make an invaluable contribution to your community.

Volunteers have the opportunity to match their skills and interests with meaningful assignments. As part of the healthcare team, volunteers broaden and diversify staff efforts to meet the hospital's goal of providing comprehensive healthcare. There are many areas in which volunteer help is needed, and scheduling is very flexible.

Auxiliary

The auxiliary acts as a direct service organization and raises money for equipment and other special needs for the hospital. Currently, some of their fundraising activities include flower, book and bake sales, jewelry fairs, the Tree of Love, an annual grill raffle, annual bus trip to Chicago, and overseeing the operations of the HGB Gift Basket. The auxiliary meets seven times a year.

Gift Basket

Gift Basket volunteers assist in the HGB Gift Basket. The Gift Basket is open six days a week, and is located inside the hospital’s main entrance.

Gift Basket hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Sunday.

Office Volunteers

Volunteers are needed to assist hospital departments on an ongoing basis. Many of the needs are for clerical support, but occasionally other specialized needs such as event support and hostessing are also available.

Courtesy Volunteers

Courtesy volunteers assist the hospital by greeting and directing visitors, delivering flowers and mail to patients, helping discharge patients, and performing errands for patients and hospital departments. They are on duty at the hospital seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and also assist with blood drives.
