Our Volunteers Make THE Difference

Volunteers are the difference in achieving our vision of becoming the best rural hospital in the country for patients to receive care, employees to work and providers to practice. At the JRMC Foundation, we strive to engage volunteers in a variety of ways that allow community members to give back while utilizing also their skills and talents. 

Volunteer Programs

Patients

JRMC’s Driven to Care program provides curb-to-curb transportation to JRMC patients who need a ride home and/or to a doctor appointment in the Jamestown area. These patients must have a referral from JRMC medical staff.

Volunteers

Volunteers who participate in the Driven to Care program will undergo standard volunteer onboarding and an online driver’s safety course that will need to be updated every couple of years. The volunteers may accept or deny rides as their availability allows.

Our front desk volunteers assist JRMC visitors by providing a warm welcome and escorting patients to their appointments. 

Gift Shoppe volunteers assist customers to find new treasures and assist in the purchase. Volunteers are also needed to assist the Gift Shoppe coordinator in organizing merchandise, assembling floral bouquets and maintaining the quality of merchandise.

Hospice volunteers provide both direct and indirect services to patients and families in their home, hospital or nursing home and assist with the day-to-day functioning of the hospice organization.

Surgery Center volunteers work at the Surgery Center front desk. They welcome patients arriving for their appointments, verify information and escort them to their rooms when they are ready. The volunteers also keep families updated.

Whether helping with event setup, assisting guests during the event or contributing to the planning process, there’s a role for everyone. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals or groups wanting to work together for a great cause. Your time and energy help us create memorable events that support healthcare in our community.
