The staff at Capital Region Medical Center considers the volunteer auxiliary, known as Partners, as one of the hospital’s greatest assets. The Partners use their time and talents in many ways to help the hospital better serve our community. Partners members assist the Capital Region staff by volunteering in the hospital, serving on special ad hoc committees and assuming leadership roles in the Partners organization.

There are currently more than 400 Partners members including more than 200 members who are active volunteers. The Partners membership dedicates tens of thousands of volunteer hours to Capital Region Medical Center each year.

Who are our volunteers?

They are retired professionals who may have worked as nurses, teachers, or accountants to name just a few fields our volunteers represent. They are mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers. They are high school students interested in learning about the health care field. They are active people from all walks of life who like to lend a helping hand.

Where do our volunteers work?

They work in all areas at CRMC, including obstetrics, radiology, surgical waiting room, admissions, medical records, material management, nutrition, and the gift shops. In fact, Capital Region’s two gift shops are staffed entirely by volunteers, and they are open seven days a week!

What else does The Partners do?

The Partners support Capital Region in may other ways. They raise money for special projects. They hold staff appreciation events throughout the year. They encourage healthy behaviors through various activities such as breast cancer awareness drives, promote child safety identification through the WHALE program, and offer scholarships to students pursuing health care degrees.
