Reasons to Volunteer

Thank you for considering Hoag Hospital to volunteer your valuable time, talent and service. Volunteering at a hospital is a wonderful way to give back to your community.

You’re done with the 9 - 5 work routine, but you are not ready to "retire."

Choose to stay actively involved by contributing your talents to making our community a better place.

Enhance your resume or college application

As you learn and grow by volunteering, you will be gaining real skills that will enhance your professional and education goals, as well as making the world better for others.

Balance your life, get out and meet more people

You may feel that you aren’t “getting out” enough -- maybe you work too many hours or you are home with your family a lot. Provide information, work on an event, work for one of the hospital services, the opportunities are all there. You’ll help the hospital, you’ll get to interact with other people, you’ll learn new skills, and you’ll help a great hospital continue to provide outstanding services to our community.

Studies show that health is often improved by participating in a meaningful, rewarding cause.

And what could be more meaningful and rewarding than volunteering for Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian and helping the people in need who come through our doors?

One Volunteer Can Make A Difference

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,
One word must start each paryer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what’s true.
One life can make a difference,
You see it’s up to you.
