ER Ambassadors primarily work with patients in our ER lounge area who are awaiting test results and further evaluation. Volunteers visit with patients and provide distracting activities. They will also get blankets, drinks, etc. as appropriate. Volunteers can also describe to patients, as necessary, the flow and process of the ER. Volunteers can double check status of tests, etc., with nurse or patient chart.
ER Ambassadors also work with other patients in the ER who are outside of a room. Volunteers will escort patients and families as directed by ER staff.
Volunteers are needed each day of the week for at least a 3 hour shift sometime between 4pm and 10pm.

Mission Statement
The Hospital Volunteers provide support and non-clinical care to the patients and families of OU Medical Center Adult Towers, and endorse the hospital's mission to value compassion, quality care, and teamwork.
Description
The volunteer organization was founded in 1960 as the Wesley Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary. Wesley Hospital became affiliated with the United Presbyterian Church in 1964. Hence, the name changed to Presbyterian Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary. In 2003, following the hospital's Joint Operating Agreement with the state of Oklahoma, Presbyterian Hospital and the University Hospital Volunteers merged services. Now established as The Medical Center Volunteers, the organization strives to provide the patients and families of OU MEDICAL CENTER with a variety of patient services. In the past 40 years, the organization has evolved to become an integral part of our hospital services. The volunteers manage the hospital gifts shops, information desks, art galleries and other services focusing on providing patient/family support and comfort. Proceeds from our gift shops allow our organization to support patient services, education, and community health programs.
