Thank you for your interest in the Mercy General Hospital volunteer program. We have several volunteer opportunities available to you. Volunteer placement is based upon availability in the department or program, your hours of availability and whether you meet the minimum requirements and qualifications for a given volunteer opportunity. It typically takes four months from the time you turn in your application to your first day of volunteering.
Please be aware that volunteer opportunities are limited in the following departments: Nutrition Services, Central Supply Department and Radiology. These departments accept a limited number of volunteers every six months. If the department is full, you are welcome to re-apply in six months.
At this time, the pharmacy does not accept any volunteers. If you are a pharmacy student looking for internship hours, please contact our Strategic Learning Center at (916) 733-6330 for more information on hospital internship programs.
If you are a student looking to achieve Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy internship hours, we do have a program in place allowing you to achieve your internship hours without committing to the six month volunteer commitment. Please complete the volunteer application and indicate that you are looking for Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy internship hours.
To apply for a volunteer position, please fill out the Mercy General Hospital Volunteer Application and e-mail it to mghvolunteerservices@chw.edu.
If you have additional questions not answered on our website or the Volunteer Application form, please call (916) 453-4559.
