Surgical Department Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Salem Health West Valley's Surgery Department depends on volunteers to keep things running smoothly. Volunteers are responsible for interacting with surgery patients and families, offering beverages and snacks, cleaning and disinfecting stretchers, preparing patient gowns/supplies prior to surgery, interacting with surgical staff to prepare supplies, performing clerical work, and more! This opportunity tends to be exciting for pre-med or pre-nursing students as it occasionally provides the opportunity to observe in surgery! If you're passionate about the medical field and are looking to give back to your community, contact us today!
