Coordinator of Volunteer Services

The Cumberland Health Care Foundation was approached by the Cumberland Health Authority to work in partnership to develop a volunteer program for the five sites in the district. The Board of Directors of the Cumberland Health Care Foundation were extremely excited by the initiative and agreed to lend generous financial support to the project. The foundation has received numerous comments on the value of the volunteer program at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, as well as the other hospitals in the area. We look forward to continuing to assist with this program, and thus fulfilling our mission.

Volunteers

Here is your chance to discover the joy of helping people in your community! Earn the feeling of accomplishment. Share your skills and learn new ones. Experience the health care team environment first hand. Significant support from the Cumberland Health Care Foundation enables the Cumberland Health Authority to maintain effective volunteer programs at all 5 health care sites through the hiring of a part time Volunteer Coordinator. Volunteers contribute in meaningful and concrete ways by comforting patients and family members, informing and directing visitors, and providing support to staff. All hospital volunteers are placed in positions consistent with their own interests and time frames. If you have 2 - 4 hours each week to devote to others, are over 14 years of age and want to make a difference in someone's life, the Cumberland Health Authority is looking for you!
