Midland Area Chamber of Commerce : Coffee Talk Highlights Volunteer Opportunities at Medical Center

Midland - Those who volunteer often do so to help others as well as to make a difference within their community. Volunteering has personal rewards, too, such as making new friends, learning new skills, building relationships and staying mentally and physically active.

MidMichigan Medical Center - Midland offers many roles for volunteers. Volunteers are important to patients, families and Medical Center staff because they provide services that assist patients and visitors in finding their way and being comfortable while also complementing staff roles. Volunteers are needed in reception areas, patient service areas, fundraising, Popcorn Service and more - 25 locations in all. Applicants are matched according to their interests and location wishes for volunteer roles.
