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 we all live and prosper.

tasks, such as welcoming and escorting patients and visitors, providing
wheelchair assistance, assisting staff in clinical areas, providing administrative
assistance,assisting family members in waiting rooms, visiting with patients
or just making sure the patient is as comfortable as possible.

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