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.

Volunteer with us

Thank you for considering sharing your time with us and giving back to our community by volunteering with Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center.

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 Thomasville Medical Center, you might:

  • Visit patients in their rooms to ask about non-medical needs and offer emotional support
  • Serve as a reception or information clerk
  • Give patients and visitors directions and help them find their way
  • Transport patients throughout the hospital
  • Drive the courtesy cart, helping guests get from the parking lot to the hospital

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
