Volunteer
VOLUNTEERING | Every year, 200+ Houston County residents give thousands of hours of their free time to serve our patients and staff as volunteers. They work in almost every area of Emory Hospital Warner Robins and Emory Hospital Perry, performing tasks like working the information desks, filing records, operating the gift shops, and delivering mail to patient rooms.

“Volunteen” Program
During the summer months, a group of adolescent volunteers (aged 14+) spend their time learning about different aspects of healthcare by serving as part of our Volunteen Program. Our volunteens serve many hours with healthcare professionals in fields such as information technology (IT), radiology, IV therapy, respiratory, outpatient surgery, and patient transport. Teen volunteers also have the opportunity to learn about the healthcare setting while gaining real-life experience of the different roles that are involved in patient care.
Applicants are interviewed and selected based on their interest in a healthcare field, as well as their willingness to serve at least one 4-hour shift each week during the 6-week program. The majority of our volunteens do their service during the summer months; however, a few continue to serve in a limited capacity during the school year.
