Our volunteer network is made up of many dedicated, passionate people committed to making health care less stressful for patients and caregivers.
Whether you’re a retired health care professional, current or former patient, a caregiver, our only prerequisite is that you care about helping patients and caregivers navigate health care situations. You can customize your volunteer experience to match your interests, skills and schedule. We have volunteers that have a few minutes a week and others who give many hours a month.
We offer ongoing training for navigators and regular updates on key issues. We need your experience, your voice and your commitment. Interested? Sign up and we will contact you to talk about volunteering with Just for Patients.
