Volunteering at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare
Every day, our volunteers enrich the lives of hundreds of patients and their families by giving generously of their time and contributing to the well-being of our healthcare community, the vitality of our services, and the quality of patients' experiences at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare.
Representing diverse cultures, age groups, abilities and life experiences, our volunteers complement the professional role of our staff by enhancing services to patients and their families beyond the scope of regular patient care. Some are looking ahead to future careers in healthcare; others are looking back over the rich life experiences that have equipped them for their role as volunteers. Whatever their backgrounds, all of our volunteers are working to support the personal dignity, safety, security and quality care offered in our hospital.
Thinking about volunteering? All you need is a willingness to help people, a little time to share, and a desire to challenge yourself. Your gift of time and energy would be invaluable to our patients and staff. Volunteers must be at least 17 years old by the start of their placement. Note: only candidates whose availability, skills, and interests align with our current needs will be considered for an interview.
Note: As a volunteer, you are required to submit proof of at least 2 COVID-19 vaccinations to the Hospital’s Volunteer Services Department before securing an interview. Volunteers must be willing to commit to one consistent shift per week for a minimum duration of four months. Volunteering on a weekly basis is a big responsibility. Please make sure this is a good time in your life for such a commitment.
Volunteer Opportunities
Available shifts continuously evolve as we adapt to the needs of our patients, clients and volunteers. For more information, visit our application page.
