Volunteer
Financial gifts are not the only way to give to The Foundation. At Lake Charles Memorial Health System, volunteers are a vital part of the healthcare system. Established in 1968, the mission of the volunteers is to render service to the health system and its patients by assisting in promoting the health and welfare of the community, in accordance with the objectives established by the health system.
Volunteers provide both tangible and intangible services to the hospital and its patients – one that is impossible to put a price tag on. Some of the ways they assist is by visiting with patients and families, delivering reading materials, staffing the information desk, serving surgery families, ICU and general waiting rooms, assisting in the gift shop, and working behind the scenes to support every department.
The Foundation offers volunteering opportunities to all ages – beginning at 18 years old – as well as a Junior Volunteer Program for high school students during the summer.
