--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volunteers provide a vital community link, representing the health system to the community and the community to the health system. Anyone, age 14 or older, with a strong desire to do something meaningful can apply to volunteer within our hospitals.

At Heritage Valley Health System, you can volunteer by joining our:

• Volunteer program at Heritage Valley Sewickley
• One of our auxiliaries

Please note that the Junior Volunteer program (age 14-17 or still in high school) is limited to summers only.

To become an in-hospital volunteer, you must meet certain entry requirements, such as:

• Completion of an application
• Personal interview
• Health clearance
• Orientation

Once in the volunteer program, a person is expected to participate in annual education updates. A commitment of at least 6 months is required for volunteer participation.

Once assigned to an area, training is provided. The volunteer program gives one the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of friends, neighbors and the community.

Among the activities where community involvement is needed are those associated with:

• Improving customer service
• Patient Support Services
• Career exploration

Many volunteer opportunities exist such as:

• Escorting
• Surgical waiting liaisons
• Gift shop and cart
• Information desk support
• Ambassadors
