Volunteering your time and talents to help others is a healthy and satisfying endeavor. Research has shown that people who volunteer have increased levels of happiness and a greater sense of calm, meaning and purpose. Volunteering has been found to improve people’s mental and physical health. It provides opportunities to make friends and build social and support systems with others whose interests and values align. If volunteering appeals to you and you are looking for opportunities to give back, Lee Health is a wonderful place to do it.
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. 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.
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, transport patients or serve patients, their families and our staff at a reception desk. Our Volunteer Services teams will work with you to find the position and schedule that works best for you.
