Volunteers are placed in a variety of departments throughout our hospitals based upon the facility needs.
We do our best to place volunteers in areas of their interest if possible. However, placements are not guaranteed in specific departments and may change if deemed appropriate.
Shift times are scheduled in four-hour increments that are available seven days a week depending on the needs of each department.
Our goal is to provide assistance where it’s needed most. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee specific departments, but we'll do our best to accommodate your main interests.
Absolutely. After you have completed the minimum commitment, we'll provide you a copy of your time and attendance.
We're unable to provide externship or internship opportunities within the volunteer program. We also can't sign any type of contract or verification regarding hours for those types of educational programs. However, those requests may be handled through your college program coordinator and Sierra View Medical Center’s Education Department.
You can't use your medical licenses or medical skills while volunteering. Licenses are not used to determine where you can volunteer.
All leaves of absence of two weeks or more must be arranged through the volunteer office. Your same schedule and placement can't be guaranteed if you’re reinstated into the program.
