Volunteer
You make a difference.
Our volunteers play an important role in making connections with our patients and their loved ones. Often, they are the first people those arriving at our facilities will meet. As a volunteer, you provide a valuable service to our community, and, in return, have the opportunity to make friends, learn new skills and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Ways you can volunteer
Our volunteer roles are as diverse as the people who fill them. Whether you are a teen, college student, retiree, former patient, or community member, we have a place for you. As a volunteer at Novant Health New Hanover Orthopedic Hospital, you might:
- Visit patients and loved ones and provide emotional support
- Serve as a reception and information clerk
- Help direct patients and visitors through our facilities
- Transport patients throughout our facilities
