Volunteer

Benewah Community Hospital’s Volunteer program BenefitsofVolunteeringwas started in April 2012 after the renovation and expansion of the new hospital.
The program was created to help patients learn their way through the new multilevel building. There are many patients that need assistance navigating the hallways, finding the elevators, and finding which floor their appointment is on.

Typical volunteer duties include:

  • Maintain patient confidentiality while assisting needs of patients and visitors
  • Transporting patients who need wheel chair assistance
  • Supply coffee and tea to those waiting in the lobby
  • Deliver mail and/or run errands for the hospital’s departments
  • Deliver flowers/gifts to patient rooms when needed
