Volunteer Partners
The Volunteer Partners of Sacred Heart Hospital consists of a group of previous and current volunteers who work in conjunction with our Volunteer Services department to provide support for Sacred Heart Hospital’s community health and social functions, fundraising events and operation of the hospital’s Gift Shop. The Volunteer Partners are governed by a board of elected officers, and members work together to recruit new volunteers. Membership is a mix of active in-hospital volunteers as well as individuals who choose to purchase membership benefits.
Currently, the Volunteer Partners’ board has a combined total of 85 years of service. Last year alone, the Volunteer Partners provided more than 48,000 hours of service and gifted
$57,500 to support The Healing Place, the employees’ Tuition
Assistance Grant Program, and helped purchase vital hospital
equipment that was not in the budget.
As a Volunteer Partner, you can support the hospital by donating your time, your money – or both!
Members pay a nominal, annual membership fee, and receive many perks, such as:
-
A 10% discount on purchases made at our hospital’s Gift Shop
