PASTORAL CARE VOLUNTEER
Harrington Hospital
Harrington Healthcare follows CDC Social Distancing Guidelines and provides necessary personal protective equipment.
The Pastoral Care Program of Volunteer Services' focus is to demonstrate through compassionate care our concern for the patient as a whole person. This includes not just the body but also the soul, mind, spirit, emotions, and the human relationships important to the patient. All denominations are welcome.
Pastoral Care Volunteers would actively collaborate with the Pastoral Care Team Leader toward facilitating opportunities for healing through listening, prayer, support, scripture, requested appropriate rituals/rites to patients, families, and staff.
Volunteers should be available at least one shift a week (typically 2-4 hours) and able to respond to calls requesting compassionate pastoral care services (listening, prayer, support, scripture, requested appropriate rituals/rites, etc).

Description
Harrington Hospital, a non-profit institution, officially opened its doors on September 7, 1931, with a capacity of 34 beds, 6 children's cribs, and 13 bassinets. Today, the Hospital has grown to a modern, 113-bed hospital which provides quality health care to a service area of approximately 350 square miles covering 17 towns in South Central Massachusetts and Northeastern Connecticut. The hospital is governed by a volunteer board compromised of community leaders. Our local governance structure means critical health care decisions are made by experts in our community who can respond to local health and community needs. Harrington has a complete range of inpatient medical services (i.e., medical, surgical, ICU/CCU, psychiatric, pediatrics, and Ob/Gyn beds) and a wide range of outpatient services including mental health, substance abuse, occupational medicine, and other programs.
