Almonte General Hospital Volunteer Program

Members of the Almonte General Hospital Auxiliary volunteer in most Hospital departments, including X-ray, Physiotherapy, medical records, the Rosamond Unit, the Medical-Surgical and Obstetrical departments, the Day Hospital, laundry and Gift Shop.

Volunteer duties depend on the department, but include greeting patients, delivering water and juice to patients’ bedsides, making snacks, managing the Gift Shop, performing clerical duties and helping Day Hospital patients work on crafts and other projects. Volunteers also help decorate the Hospital for the holidays, make quilts and wall hangings for the obstetrical unit, do carpentry for the Day Hospital and knit hats and booties for newborns. In the Rosamond Unit, volunteers help with bingo games, spa activities, pet visiting and pastoral care.

New volunteers are given extensive support when they begin donating their time to AGH, including a complete orientation and a position description outlining their roles and responsibilities.
