The Rewards of Volunteering  Volunteers at CCH


Volunteers at Cornwall Community Hospital make a difference in our community!

Volunteers at Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) are exceptional people and a valued part of the hospital community. CCH is fortunate to have an amazing and diverse group of dedicated volunteers willing to share their time and expertise to improve the patient experience.

Volunteer with us!  Whatever your background, experiences and interests, there are many volunteer programs available to find a good fit for most people. Our volunteer programs are as diverse as our amazing volunteers and include greeting, wayfinding and information with patients, family and visitors; working directly with patients in support of CCH staff; and supporting Auxiliary fundraising activities such as working in our lovely Gift Shop or through the sale of lottery tickets. Our Volunteer Team is looking for people with a willingness and desire to help people; time to share; and a belief in the hospital ICARE values of Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Engagement.
