Volunteer Services and Auxiliary Membership

Our volunteers are women, men and young people who work in many hospital areas assisting in the care of our patients and their families. Cox Health Systems� Volunteer Services staff works with you to select a volunteer position that best fits your interests, skills and schedule. Cox volunteers are given an orientation and trained for the assignment for which they are best suited.

Volunteers are caring people like you, using their spare time to make a difference. Our volunteers fall into several categories:

Teen Volunteers � Teens serve throughout the hospital and in our Child Care Centers. Many of these teens hope to pursue a health care career. Teen volunteers must be 14 years old and attending school.

Student Volunteers � Student volunteers are college students volunteering in the area in which they are seeking a college degree. For some it is a program requirement.

Futures Program � These volunteers are participating in state-funded programs that will help them with school or help them gain skills needed to find a job. They are required to volunteer in the community.

Level 2 Clinical Volunteers � These volunteers are trained to do advanced clinical tasks.

Familiar Faces Volunteers � The Familiar Faces program consists of retired employees placed in high stress/high volume areas of the health system.

Ambassador Volunteers � These specially trained volunteers handle customer service responsibilities. They fill the role of a greeter or first contact for customers/visitors.

Regular Volunteers � These volunteers provide clerical and clinical assistance, staff Auxiliary fund-raising projects and supplement the work of paid hospital staff in more than 60 different areas.

Auxiliary Board � These volunteers serve on the Auxiliary Board of Directors, planning, implementing and governing fund-raising efforts for the Auxiliary. They also participate in education projects for the public.

General information on becoming a Cox Volunteer         
Interview: Each volunteer must submit a written application and participate in a personal interview before being accepted as a volunteer. Everyone who applies is not automatically accepted.

Assignment: Every effort is made to place a volunteer in their area of interest, but this may not always be possible, due to areas of need and availability. New volunteers must review the volunteer information manual and the job description for their assignment.

Shift: Volunteers are asked to commit to working at least one 4-hour shift per week. Most shifts are 9 a.m.-1 p.m., 1-5 p.m. and 5-9 p.m. Flexible hours are available in some areas.

Auxiliary Membership: Membership in the Auxiliary is required for all volunteers. Annual dues are $5. A Life Membership (exempt from paying all future dues) is $100.
