Volunteering Makes a Difference
Volunteers add an important personal connection to patients’ experiences in the increasingly technological environment of health care.
At Bassett Healthcare Network, our volunteers make a difference. They provide support, comfort, and compassion to our patients, families, visitors, and our communities. Bassett offers a wide range of exciting volunteer opportunities including administration, emergency services, food services, human resources, information services, nursing, patient experience, pet therapy, spiritual care, and many more.
Bassett volunteers are people just like you – professionals, retirees, students*, stay-at-home parents, and many others!
*Junior volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
