Volunteers: Our
most valued and committed partners
Impressive achievements
Dedicated to commitment
A cohesive customer
oriented volunteer team.
The success of a
complex health care facility such as Trillium relies on the
support of many partners. Among our most committed partners
are our volunteers. From the patient bedside to the gift shop
counter and hundreds of places in between, volunteers contribute
directly or indirectly to the well-being of those in the care
of Trillium.
At Trillium, we
offer you the opportunity to support the Health Centre's efforts
through programs and services that assist our patients, clients,
staff and community. Volunteers take part in more than 120
programs and services across our two locations and in our
communities.
Trillium is a values-driven
facility. Our volunteers understand, support and empower the
vision in carrying out their volunteer assignments. Our volunteers
take pride in supporting Trillium, a world-class health facility,
with unparalleled commitment to innovation, collaboration
and cutting-edge patient care.
