Want to start making a difference in someone else's life? Become a Patient Support Volunteer for the Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation. Our Volunteers brighten up a cancer patient’s day by providing non-medical support to them while they are undergoing treatment. In the infusion area, volunteers offer a snack or beverage to a patient, hand out warm blankets, share reading materials, talk and listen, wipe down the infusion chairs and help support the nurses with re-stocking.

Ideal candidates may be a retiree, cancer survivor or a caregiver of someone with cancer. We would also consider a college student with an interest in oncology, nursing or medicine. Available shifts are Fridays from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. We ask for a minimum time commitment of 3 hours per week for at least six months.

Face masks must be worn at all FCS clinics and volunteers must follow the FCS vaccine policy.
