Volunteer at Benefis
Volunteers at Benefis bring a wealth of unique life experiences, kindness, and helping hands to our patients and staff.
Our volunteers help in areas such as:
Benefis Foundation
You can make a powerful, lasting impact in our community by volunteering with the Benefis Foundation. Together, we can improve health and make a difference in the lives of our families, friends, and neighbors.
Baby Hats/Blankets
In the comfort of your own homes, make hats for every newborn baby and blankets for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) isolettes (incubators).
Emergency Department
Assist and visit with family and patients in our new, expanded Emergency Department.
General Office Help
Help out in all areas of the hospital by answering phones, filing, handling mail, and many other office tasks.
Gift Shops
Assist visitors and staff as they purchase gifts and other fun items from our four shop locations at Benefis Health System.
Peace Hospice and Children's Bereavement
Volunteers are essential to the daily operation of Benefis Peace Hospice.
Junior Volunteers
During the summer months, young volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18 can assist in a variety of areas on both Benefis East and West campuses.
Rock-n-Read
Volunteers rock and read to babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Senior Services Life Enrichment
Help out with the adult residents and their families at our Senior Services campuses by providing a variety of opportunities for creativity and fun.
Waiting Areas
Some volunteers staff the patient waiting areas, such as the surgery waiting area and the endoscopy waiting area. They answer phone calls and serve as a liaison for staff and patients' families.
Information Desk/Escort Service
Meet and greet patients, doctors, vendors, and visitors and assist them by providing room numbers, directions, and other information. Volunteers also escort non-emergency patients to various hospital departments and rooms, as hospitals can be very confusing places for visitors.
