Opportunities
The importance of
volunteers can never be properly defined. Their impact is
vast and far-reaching, affecting the lives of thousands in
positive ways. Trillium's Volunteer Resources offers an environment
that is challenging and motivating.
 Volunteers
provide support to administrative, fundraising, and clinical
staff in providing quality patient care. They also support
patients, families and visitors, and contribute to a positive
public image of the hospital. Positions in these roles include:
As you'll see, volunteers
may provide direct patient support, assist the public, work
with staff, become involved in community outreach opportunities
and raise funds through fundraising projects.
Trillium offers
all of the above and much, much more.
Volunteer assignments are available seven days a week between
the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. dependent on the service
