Cartersville – After pausing the hospital volunteer program during the COVID-19 pandemic, Piedmont Cartersville is reestablishing the program and is actively recruiting individuals interested in volunteer roles.
Hospital volunteers help in many areas of a healthcare facility like Piedmont Cartersville, sharing their time with the hospital and giving back to their local community.
“Our purpose at Piedmont is to make a positive difference in every life we touch,” said Phoebe Stieber, executive director of hospital operations at Piedmont Cartersville. “The dedication of our volunteers and the work they do every day helps make achieving that purpose possible.”
Hospital volunteers play a significant role in caring for patients, visitors and guests, as well as assisting staff members, nurses and physicians at the hospital.
Currently, volunteers, ages 18 and older, are needed in various areas, including the main lobby and gift shop. Shifts are available most days of the week, typically from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., and those with an interest or a background in the health care industry make for ideal candidates, but it is not a requirement.
Piedmont hospitals and clinics are cleaned and disinfected rigorously, following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) infection prevention guidelines. In addition, our staff, contractors and volunteers are fully vaccinated, or have an exemption.
“During the pandemic and beyond, many people found themselves having more time and a need to make personal connections and help those in need,” said Stieber. “Being a hospital volunteer is the perfect way to give back your time.”
