Volunteering at Atrium Health Lincoln
Atrium Health Lincoln volunteers are of great service to the hospital in providing that additional compassionate and healing presence at work in a high-tech environment. Volunteers assist in easing the natural fears and apprehension of a patient or family member by performing courteous and beneficial services. They help reduce the isolation and stress associated with hospitalization by delivering mail or flowers to the patient, filling a water pitcher, escorting a family member to the appropriate area, communicating to family members and friends while they are waiting for surgery and recovery of their loved ones, or simply working in the gift shop.
The following opportunities are available to dedicated and capable adults and juniors:
- Administration
- Chaplain
- Diabetes Education
- Education
- Emergency Department
- Guest Services
- Gift Shop
- Materials Management
- Nursing Units (Medical, Surgical, Telemetry)
- Radiology
- Service Associate
- Special project volunteers
How to Become an Adult Volunteer
To become an adult volunteer, one must be 18 years of age or older and complete an application form. Once this form is completed and presented to the Director of Community Outreach, the adult volunteer will attend orientation and provide documentation of immunizations and a TB test. Training for a specific volunteer position is provided.
How to Become a Junior Volunteer (Ages 15-18)
Junior volunteers typically work during the summer months and are assigned to specific departments at Atrium Health Lincoln. Applications for junior volunteers are typically due to our CommunityOutreach Department by March of each year to be processed for the summer. The applicant will be asked to provide teacher references, documentation of immunizations and TB tests, and attend an orientation program.
