Adult volunteers

A United Hospital adult volunteer hands a complimentary coffee to a visitor in the hospital lobby. The volunteer is a woman with short brown hair in a white shirt with a blue volunteer vest. The guest is a tall man with very short brown hair wearing a purple polo shirt. If you want to make a difference in people's lives, if you want to give back to your community, then United Hospital has a place for you in our Volunteer Services Program.
