High School Volunteers
Volunteers play a significant role in providing care
and support services to St. Francis Medical Center. Our volunteers live the
Daughters of Charity’s Mission of serving the underprivileged, sick and the
poor. They generously give their time, service and compassion to our patients
and families. Our Volunteer Services Department provides volunteers with
experience and exposure to health careers. Volunteering at St. Francis Medical
Center is a positive experience for young people and adults age 14 years and
older who desire to be of service to others. Our volunteers include
professionals, homemakers, students, retirees and senior citizens — individuals
with varied interests who share a common commitment to the goals and philosophy
of St. Vincent de Paul, founder of the Daughters of Charity. Through their
combined efforts, they volunteer thousands of hours to St. Francis Medical
Center each year. If you would like to make a difference and learn more about
