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 assume leadership roles in the Partners organization.

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

Scholarships

Every spring, The Partners auxiliary awards scholarships to students who are enrolled in health care programs - nursing, physical therapy, or other medical technology fields. Scholarship applications for 2008 are now available. Deadline for submitting the application is May 16, 2008. Our scholarship committee will interview qualifying applicants on June 5, 2008.
