From the moment you arrive at the hospital until you leave, members of the
Parrish Medical Center Auxiliary are here to help, to share and to give. They do
whatever they can to make your stay easier and more comfortable for you and
your family. Our volunteers are teens and adults, men and women of all ages with
diverse backgrounds and skills. Most of our members work on services within the
hospital or at an off-site facility. The services include Information Desk,
Courier/Escort, Gift Shop, Surgical Waiting Room, Lifeline, Tender Touch, Support
Services, and Courtesy Shuttle. Some of our services have direct patient contact,
while others offer only minimal or no patient contact.
We work a seven-day week with the workday divided into three shifts--morning,
afternoon, and evening. The shifts are generally four hours long, and most
members work one shift per week. Uniforms are required. Uniform choices will be
explained during the interview. Dues for active members are $5/year.
Visit the Parrish website to download a volunteer application.
Teenage Volunteer membership is open to all young men and women between the
