Volunteer Information: If you are passionate about community service, care deeply for people and have time and energy to devote to a growing volunteer program, Flowers Hospital would love to have you join our team of volunteers. Each of our volunteers makes unique contributions to our hospital by offering their time, intellect, energy and skills to provide extra services that supplement the basic functions of our professional staff, ultimately adding to the comfort, care and happiness of our patients. Volunteer opportunities are available in various departments throughout our hospital, and assignments and schedules are made on an individual basis after consideration of both the hospital's needs and the volunteer's goals. Many volunteers welcome the opportunity to apply their talents in fields different from their work experience. The Flowers Hospital volunteer program is flexible, so a niche can be found for each volunteer's area of interest. Since the volunteer program began in 1983, volunteers have donated thousands of hours of their time each year to the service of our patients and visitors. While volunteers receive special recognition throughout the year for their service to the hospital, most volunteers are also rewarded by the personal satisfaction that comes from helping others. .
