Volunteering with Providence Portland Medical Center
Overview
Providence Portland Medical Center's volunteers serve 45 different departments within the hospital, with more than 60 different jobs. Jobs range from gift shop clerk, eucharistic minister, special projects, to nursing support. Volunteers typically work a four hour shift, one day per week. Adult volunteers are asked to make a six month commitment, and student or teen volunteers are asked to make a three month commitment. Those interested in applying, should fill out and return the application form and background disclosure (for those over 18). All applicants will be called for interviews in the order in which the applications are received. Please allow for a two to three-month waiting period if applicant volume is high at the time of submission. Once an applicant is interviewed and placed, he or she will be scheduled for a two hour orientation.
