Volunteer at the Miramichi Regional Hospital

WHY VOLUNTEER?
 
Volunteers are valued members of the healthcare team at the
Miramichi Regional Health Authority.  Not only do they bring
a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organization,
they also bring a perspective that provides community input.

The role of a volunteer is to complement the professional role of hospital staff by enhancing services to patients and their families beyond the scope of regular patient care.  Services rendered by volunteers support the personal dignity, safety, security and quality care of patients.

The Volunteer Services Department is responsible for the administration of the volunteer program at the Miramichi Regional Health Authority and ensures that volunteers are provided with the ongoing support, guidance, training and supervision required during their placement. Last year alone over 100 volunteers donated over 10,000 hours to our hospital! 

As a volunteer you gain an opportunity to:
  • Work as a member of a healthcare team
  • Gain an opportunity to help and serve others
  • Network with other volunteers and healthcare professionals
  • Attend various educational workshops
  • Develop personally
  • Obtain references for employment, scholarships, bursaries
  • Make new friends!
