There are a number of volunteer opportunities at the hospital. To see the complete listing, go to: http://www.volunteermatch.org/results/opp

A few of these opportunities follow:

Clinical Volunteers are entrusted with real work. Work that will contribute in a meaningful way to the success of our organization. Duties may not always be glamorous; however, this service is important to our nursing staff. Assignments may include helping pass trays, moving patients, walking with patients, answering call lights, helping clean patients and break rooms, escorting discharged patients to vehicles, and running errands as necessary

Environmental Services Volunteers help with the hospital's recycling efforts. They are responsible for gathering paper recycling bins from all areas of the hospital, inspecting bins for unacceptable products, and sorting and delivering paper to collection dumpsters. Evening hours are preferable.

Gift Cart Delivery Volunteers are needed to help reach those patients who cannot make it to the gift shop. The gift cart is taken to the first and second floors of the hospital. The time required is approximately 60 minutes. The gift card volunteer may also be called upon to deliver patient mail, bedside card and flowers. Various shifts are available mornings and afternoons, Monday through Sunday.

Gift Shop Volunteer needed to operate the gift shop operated by the Potsdam Hospital Guild. Volunteers are responsible for all aspects of the shop, including sales, ordering, inventory, and scheduling. All proceeds from the shop benefit the hospital. In-shop volunteers receive a 20% discount!

Volunteers are especially needed for weekday evenings and weekend shifts as it is important to patients and their visitors that the shop maintain daily service year-round (including weekends and holidays).

Volunteers need their own transportation to sites.
