Volunteer Opportunities
Due to COVID-19, we have temporarily put a pause on our in person volunteer opportunities. Please contact marketing at (704) 838-7106 for further questions at the time.
Do you like people? Do you find a sense of satisfaction in helping others? Are you between the ages of 15 and 100? At Davis Regional Medical Center, our volunteers come from many backgrounds, but each one shares a love of people and a commitment to serve others. If these statements describe you, the Sunshine Volunteer Association may be just what you're looking for in your life.
Volunteer Purpose
The purpose of the Sunshine Volunteer Association is to render service to Davis Regional Medical Center and its patients, to bring cheer and comfort to those who are ill, and to assist the hosptial in promoting the health and welfare of the community, in accordance with the objectives established by the hospital administration and Board of Trustees.
What Do I Do Next?
As a potential volunteer, you must submit an application and undergo a complete background and reference check. Next, you will meet with a member of the Volunteer Services staff to discuss current opportunities.
