How to Volunteer


Beginning on March 2, 1955 at Mercy Hospital, volunteers from all walks of life began to devote themselves to extending services that might not otherwise be available.

Our hospital volunteers are easily identified by their courteous smile, helpful attitude, and willing hearts as they serve with a friendly spirit of loyalty.

Volunteering at Mercy and Mercy Southwest Hospitals offers a rewarding job to fill hours you have available, whether you are male, female, a professional, retiree, housewife, office worker, newcomer, or someone looking for a new challenge.

Two Types of Volunteers

Junior Volunteers are 14 – 18 years old, unmarried, high school students and they must commit to volunteer for a minimum of 50 hrs.

Senior Volunteers must be 18 years or older and must be able to pass a background check.
