JULIE NGUYEN, VOLUNTEER, NORTON HOSPITAL
Our volunteers are truly special. While most people don’t choose to spend their time in a hospital, our volunteers do — dedicating their talents and service to our facilities, employees, patients and visitors. The impact of our volunteers is felt throughout our hospitals in the lives they touch every day.
Volunteers add extra warmth that is appreciated by our patients, their families and our staff. They are exceptional people who take the extra steps to make a difference in other people’s lives. Volunteering is a great learning experience and an excellent way to meet people and make new friends.
You do not need any special skills to be a volunteer. We will provide the training you need. Opportunities are available in patient and nonpatient areas.

It takes the average volunteer approximately one month to complete necessary screenings and get set up to attend a volunteer orientation.
During our summer programs, we accept volunteers as young as age 14 if they entering high school.
A significant amount of screening and training may be needed to become a volunteer at a Norton affiliated hospital. Because of this, we ask that all adult volunteers make at least a six-month commitment, which includes two to four hours per week. Our student volunteer program has smaller time commitments.
Yes. To be a hospital volunteer, you must satisfactorily pass a criminal background check. A new volunteer health screening also is required. More details will be provided once you are selected to volunteer.
Only select hospitals take teen volunteers year-round, and openings are limited. Ask the volunteer managers listed under the hospital you are interested in. Additional volunteer opportunities may be available with the Norton Healthcare Foundation or Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation.
Not all hospitals have a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but the ones that do have a volunteer baby rocker program. This is a highly requested volunteer position and volunteers are added to a waiting list to be selected. All interested volunteers must volunteer in another assignment for at least three months before being added to the NICU baby rocker waiting list.
Volunteers at Norton Healthcare and Norton Children’s provide support to patients, families and staff in a variety of ways. Examples of volunteer activities include supporting staff by stocking and organizing supplies, and helping visitors find their way around the hospital. Volunteers will not have hands-on patient interactions.
