Hospital Volunteer: Help Patients, Families & Visitors

Benefis Foundation

You can make a powerful, lasting impact in our community by volunteering with Benefis Foundation. Together, we can improve health and make a difference in the lives of our families, friends, and neighbors.

In the comfort of your own homes, make hats for every newborn baby and blankets for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) isolettes (incubators).

Help out in all areas of the hospital by answering phones, filing, handling mail, and many other office tasks.

Assist visitors and staff as they purchase gifts and other fun items from our shop location at Benefis Health System.

Volunteers are essential to the daily operation of Benefis Peace Hospice.

Help out with the adult residents and their families at our Senior Services campuses by providing a variety of opportunities for creativity and fun.

Some volunteers staff the patient waiting areas, such as the surgery waiting area and the endoscopy waiting area. They answer phone calls and serve as a liaison for staff and patients’ families.

Meet and greet patients, doctors, vendors, and visitors and assist them by providing room numbers, directions, and other information. Volunteers also escort non-emergency patients to various hospital departments and rooms, as hospitals can be very confusing places for visitors.
