Three volunteers smiling and standing by the hospital welcome desk

As you walk through the hospital, you’ll probably notice people in purple vests. They are our dedicated volunteers. From all walks of life, our volunteers demonstrate kindness and patience as they provide a supportive and welcoming environment for our patients and families. If you are lucky, you may even see one of our furry volunteer friends from the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program.

Whether volunteers are assisting with wayfinding, registration, recreation or providing bedside visits, they play an integral role in providing a world-class patient experience. Each one of our placements is developed with the purpose of improving the patient’s experience, so

“our volunteers are placed where we feel they will provide the most support to patients and visitors.”

While we can’t guarantee a specific placement, we will work with you to find a placement that interests you and meets our current needs.

Why volunteer?

  • Give back to your community
  • Meet new and interesting people
  • Expand your skill set
  • Gain valuable experience
  • Get exercise (some volunteers walk 10,000 steps during their shift)

Additional benefits:

  • Complimentary parking during your shift
  • Access to our Wellness, Diversity and Learning & Development programs
  • An opportunity to be a part of the Ultimate Volunteering Experience

What will you need?

Screenings are required only AFTER you have been offered a volunteer placement.

  • Vulnerable Sector Check (volunteer fee to be determined by local police)

  • Health Screening (Tuberculosis screening, immunity screening for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella) – volunteer's cost will vary based on their personal physician's fee schedule
  • Two references
  • Completion of online education courses as assigned by Mackenzie Health
  • Onsite orientation and training
  • Successful candidates will purchase a uniform ($15-30)

Make the ultimate difference in your community. As we prepare to open our Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital site, we have more than 400 volunteer positions available. Ready to help? See what your next steps will be at our volunteer portal!
