Volunteers are very special people.
Volunteers are generous with their talents, their time and with their caring attitudes. Volunteers bring a special something to the life of a community. The members of the Groves Hospital Volunteer Association (GHVA) include these special people – dedicated to assisting Groves Hospital in providing best patient care.
Our 288 volunteers come from a diversification of life experiences and each brings something unique and necessary to the work of the Association. Every member is valued and recognized. GHVA volunteers – men and women including all age groups – give over 37,000 hours of service annually to our community hospital.
Volunteering at Groves offers opportunities for learning, teaching, making new friendships, gaining valuable employment experience and references and feeling good about giving to the community. The hospital environment offers a variety of volunteering experiences ranging from assistance with patient care to administrative functions to fund-raising initiatives.
We invite you to visit Volunteer Opportunities for more detailed information. Each of us does make a difference.
