New Milford Hospital

Seeks Volunteers

NEW MILFORD — New Milford Hospital is looking for energetic volunteers who communicate well and can commit to a minimum of three hours per week for at least a three-month period of time. There are opportunities available on days, evenings, and weekends.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age.

Volunteers especially are needed at the information desk and gift shop as well as in the patient representative programs. Patient representatives are adult volunteers who play a vital role as liaisons between patients and their family members and NMH staff. There are patient representative positions open in the Emergency Department as well as on the medical/surgical and one-day surgery units. Special training is provided. There also are several clerical positions available in various departments throughout the hospital.

There will be a spring volunteer orientation on Thursday, April 10, from 3 to 5 pm. Preregistration for the orientation is required by calling 860-210-7429.

For more information about the volunteer program or to receive an application, contact Angela Yagid, director of Volunteer Services, at 860-210-7429.
