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.
