About UH

Volunteer Services

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at University Hospitals.

Volunteers are an integral part of the team at University Hospitals.  Whether you're interested in directly supporting our patients and families on patient divisions, lowering families' stress levels by helping them find their way around the hospital, or supporting staff "behind the scenes" in a clerical capacity, we may have an important role for you to play that impacts the hospital experience for UH patients and families.  Join our UH volunteer family.

Volunteer Commitment

It is our policy that new volunteers start with a schedule of at least three hours per week.  We also ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of 50 hours of service over a period of at least 6 months.

Please consider carefully whether this time commitment will fit your schedule or other life commitments and that it is something you will be able to do successfully week after week.  You must have the willingness and ability to make a commitment to your chosen assignment.  Our staff, patients, and families depend on you.
