Making a Difference, One Helping Hand at a Time
At Ellenville Regional Hospital, our volunteers are a vital part of our healthcare team. Their time, energy, and compassion enrich the hospital experience for patients, visitors, and staff alike. Whether assisting behind the scenes, supporting patient care, or keeping departments running smoothly, our volunteers play an essential role in supporting our mission of caring and service.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities to match different interests, skills, and schedules. Every contribution—no matter how big or small—makes a meaningful impact.
