Volunteering at Jupiter Medical Center

At Jupiter Medical Center, our Auxiliary (volunteers) provide invaluable support to patients, visitors and team members. Over 600 volunteers comprise our Auxiliary and come in all shapes, sizes and ages. They share a common desire to touch people's lives and make a difference by contributing to the community in which they live and prosper.

Ways to Help

Volunteers serve in many areas of the hospital, performing a variety of tasks, such as assisting visitors, directing, escorting and transporting patients, assisting family members in waiting rooms, performing administrative functions, visiting with patients, or just making sure the patient is as comfortable as possible. Some volunteers drive Jupiter Medical Center vans and provide complimentary, non-emergency transportation to and from Jupiter Medical Center and any medical facility associated with it.

Volunteers assist Jupiter Medical Center team members in departments such as:

• Surgical Services
• Frenchman's Creek Center for Excellence in Digestive Health
• Emergency Department
• Anderson Family Cancer Institute
• Cary Grossman Health & Wellness Center
• Margaret W. Niedland Breast Center

Additionally, our volunteers contribute to various hospital programs, including Pastoral Care, Patient Advocacy, and Pet Therapy.
