Our Mission

The primary mission of the volunteer program of Penn State Hershey is to respond to the needs of the community by supporting World Class Patient Care through various hospital programs and services.

 

Additional Information

Volunteers serve as a link between staff and patients, their families and visitors.  They are the "extra" in the extraordinary care we provide.  To learn more about the areas where volunteers are needed see the Opportunities link. 

To be compliant with a recommendation from the Joint Commission of Healthcare Organizations and the Center for Disease Control, all volunteers (as well as employees) will be tested for tuberculosis. This can be done through our employee health department at no expense to you, or your own physician at your expense. More details will be given at orientation.
