Research shows that volunteering increases happiness, boosts self-confidence, and provides a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Helping others through volunteering allows you to make a difference in your community. If volunteering your time and talents to help others appeals to you and you are looking for opportunities to give back, Lee Health is a wonderful place to do it. Many of our volunteers are patients or family members of patients who appreciated their care and want to give back.
You do not need to have a medical or nursing background to volunteer at Lee Health. You can work in a gift shop or uniform store, help with clerical work, drive a trolley or help transport patients. Almost every department in our hospitals and even outpatient and office settings have volunteer positions available, so you can choose to volunteer in either a patient care or non-patient care area. Volunteering in our facilities is safe, and we are excited to welcome you to our team.
Our hospitals, including Cape Coral Hospital, Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida, Gulf Coast Medical Center, HealthPark Medical Center and Lee Memorial Hospital, are currently recruiting volunteers. Our Volunteer Services teams will work with you to find the position and schedule that works best for you.
Lee Health is the grateful beneficiary of the service and support of a volunteer workforce that ranges in age and experience and is committed to kindness and compassionate care. If you decide to volunteer at Lee Health, you are joining a team of other volunteers who are mission-driven.
