Candy Striper Program

A candy striper volunteers his/her time weekly at the hospital by assisting the nursing staff with patients needs such as refilling water and ice, taking books and magazines to rooms, or assisting nurses by taking vital signs and filing or other simple but important tasks.

In general, you need a desire to help others, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. There is not cost involved and smocks are provided.

Contact the Director of Volunteer Services to request and complete a volunteer application. The Director will conduct an interview to determine your interests, skills and availability. An orientation and tour of the hospital is also required.
