HRMC depends on the dedicated service of many volunteers to enhance our patients' health care experience.

Volunteer opportunities are available through the Auxiliary, hospice program, pastoral care and the foundation. All volunteers are required to complete the same orientation as HRMC employees to ensure their understanding of patient confidentiality and hospital policy.

Auxiliary

A friendly face to greet you ... a helping hand when you need directions ... or comfort and support while you wait for a loved one undergoing tests or surgery. These are just a few of the roles in which you'll find the smiling faces of the HRMC Auxiliary.

The purpose of the Auxiliary is to promote and advance the welfare of HRMC by rendering service to patients, and assisting and contributing to charitable projects. As members of the Auxiliary, Pink Ladies volunteer daily, providing refreshments and assistance in hospital lounges, assisting visitors with hospital and patient information at the information desks, and delivering floral arrangements to patients. The Pink Ladies also manage and staff the hospital gift shops located in the main hospital and central tower lobbies.

The Auxiliary also contributes to various projects at the hospital including equipment, furnishings and nursing scholarships. Funds are raised through annual events, gift shop/candy counter sales and membership dues.

For more information on the Auxiliary or to volunteer, call 605-353-6565 or visit our Auxilary page.

Foundation

HRMC Foundation’s mission is to bring the gifts of the community together to strengthen, support and enhance the Huron Regional Medical Center system of care. Volunteers are an essential part of the effort to ensure high-quality health care is always available close to home…for generations to come.

Hospice Volunteer

HRMC's Community Hospice program provides end-of-life support to terminally ill patients. Volunteers are a vital part of the team approach to caring for the patient and family.

Volunteers are provided with initial training and ongoing support through frequent communication with the volunteer coordinator and periodic in-service meetings.

Hospice volunteers perform a variety of functions including:

Running errands, shopping and picking up medications for the patient.
Sitting with the patient to provide time off for the caregiver.
Assisting with meals or household chores.
Letter writing and reading to the patient.
Assisting with other activities like arranging special functions or providing childcare for family members.

Participating in fund-raising activities for Hospice and representing the program to the public.

Typically, Hospice volunteers are assigned to an individual patient and become a part of the caregiving team. They can expect to spend between 2-4 hours per week with the patient, depending on need.

For more information on becoming a Hospice volunteer, call 605-353-6520 or visit our hospice page.
