Volunteering

At Jupiter Medical Center, Auxiliary volunteers provide invaluable support to patients, visitors, and team members. Our more than 400 volunteers, ages 15 and up, bring a wide variety of backgrounds and skills. But 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.

Ways to Help

Volunteers serve in many areas of the medical center, performing a variety of 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 that patients and visitors are as comfortable as possible. Volunteers also staff our thriving hospital Gift Shop, and our popular off-campus Thrift Shop.

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

• The Johnny & Terry Gray Surgical Institute
• Main Lobby
• Frenchman's Creek Digestive Health Center (GI Lab)
• Petrocelli Emergency Department
• Interventional Radiology Holding
• Anderson Family Cancer Institute
• Inpatient Units
• Gift Shop and Thrift Shop

Additionally, our volunteers contribute to hospital programs, such as Pastoral Care and Pet Therapy.
