Volunteer Opportunities at St. John's Hospitals
St. John's Volunteers are the Heart of Caring
St. John's volunteers donate their time and energy to provide valuable and important resources to hospital departments.
The St. John's Regional Medical Center Auxiliary and the St. John's Pleasant Valley Hospital Auxiliary raise funds for hospital equipment and programs through gift shop sales and other events. Their dedication, perseverance, creativity, enthusiasm, and devotion help make St. John's an outstanding healthcare provider.
