LRGHealthcare Volunteer Services is searching for compassionate, caring, and reliable volunteers to become Patient Escorts. Do you enjoy walking? Do you like to stay active? Then this is the volunteer position for you! Typically, in a four-hour shift, a Patient Escort walks an average of five miles. Stay active and give back – what could be better?

Patient Escorts are a valuable resource at LRGHealthcare. As a Patient Escort, you might be the first face an anxious patient sees as they walk into the hospital. Help alleviate some of their anxiety with your smile and kind words as you escort them to a test or procedure. What a great way to give back to your community and help out!

Volunteer applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Volunteer shifts are available seven days a week from 8 AM to noon, or noon to 4 PM. Are you a stay-at-home mom? We have shifts available from 10 AM to 2 PM. Still interested, but unable to commit to a four-hour shift? Contact us, and we will find the best hours to fit your schedule.

If you’re interested in this great volunteer opportunity, please contact LRGHealthcare Volunteer Coordinator Darcy Peary at 737-6720 or DPeary@nullLRGH.org.
