How may we serve? Who can we help?

Do you enjoy working with people? Are you looking for the kind of personal fulfillment that can only come from serving others? Do you have a heart for helping others through difficult circumstances?

Video: Volunteering at CoxHealth
We invite you to become part of our healing team as a CoxHealth volunteer. A major pillar of CoxHealth is its dedicated core of volunteers. Whether it's bringing some cheer to a lonely patient, delivering flowers from loved ones or making a sick child less anxious, our volunteers have a great and lasting impact on our patients.

Volunteer opportunities cover the spectrum - from direct patient contact through working on nursing units, providing "retail therapy" as a Gift Shop cashier, staffing the various information desks, clerical duties in offices, fundraisers, sewing projects and many other areas. On-the-job training is provided. Volunteers must be at least 15 years old.
