Volunteering

At Jupiter Medical Center, our Auxiliary (volunteers) provide invaluable support to patients, visitors and team members. Over 400 volunteers comprise our Auxiliary and come in all shapes, sizes and ages. They share a common desire to touch people's lives and make a difference by contributing to the community in which we all live and prosper.

Ways to Help

Volunteers serve in many areas of the hospital, performing a variety of tasks, such as welcoming and escorting patients and visitors, providing wheelchair assistance, assisting staff in clinical areas, providing administrative assistance, assisting family members in waiting rooms, visiting with patients or just making sure the patient is as comfortable as possible.

Volunteers assist Jupiter Medical Center team members in departments such as:

• The Johnny & Terry Gray Surgical Institute
• Main Lobby
• Frenchman's Creek Digestive Health Center (GI Lab)
• Petrocelli Emergency Department
• Anderson Family Cancer Institute
• Inpatient Units
• Gift Shop and Thrift Shop

Additionally, our volunteers contribute to hospital programs, such as Pastoral Care and Pet Therapy.

Every volunteer receives training before beginning their new role.
