Volunteering Opportunities
The success of Northwest Medical Center is due in part to the hard work and dedication of its volunteers. We have more than 200 volunteers that work in almost every area of the hospital. Both our Adult Volunteer Program and Junior Volunteer Program play a vital role in meeting the non-medical needs of our patients.
In addition to the personal rewards one receives from volunteer work, NMC offers volunteers:
- Free meal on the day you volunteer
- Bi-annual Luncheons
- Free membership in our Active Advantage program (after 100 hours of volunteering)
