Volunteer
You make a difference.
Our volunteers play an important role in making connections with our patients and their loved ones. Often, they are the first people those arriving at our facilities will meet. As a volunteer, you provide a valuable service to our community, and, in return, have the opportunity to make friends, learn new skills and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Ways you can volunteer
Our volunteer roles are as diverse as the people who fill them. Whether you are a teen, college student, retiree, former patient, or community member, we have a place for you. As a volunteer at East Cooper Medical Center, you might:
- Greet patients/visitors in the lobby and emergency room
- Transport patients and escort families throughout the hospital
- Visit patients in their rooms to ask about non-medical needs and offer emotional support
- Run the cheer cart to deliver newspapers, crossword puzzles and other items to help brighten patients’ days
Volunteer requirements
You don’t need to have had any experience working in healthcare to volunteer with us. All Novant Health volunteers must:
- Be at least 14 years old
- Successfully pass a background check
- Provide proof of flu vaccination
After you submit the volunteer application, you will go through new volunteer orientation and training.
