Volunteer at Ridgeview

Volunteers at Ridgeview are people of various ages and in different stages of their lives. All of our volunteers share one common value: service to others. Some individuals serve as part of their retirement activities or as a way to give back to the community, while others participate to gain exposure to the health care environment.

Perks include:

· Rewarding experiences

· Free meal during volunteer shift

· Free annual influenza vaccine

Ridgeview has a broad range of volunteer positions to accommodate different life stages, interests and schedules. Volunteers participate in many different opportunities throughout Ridgeview and the hospice program. They are an indispensable part of Ridgeview’s team.
