The Sharp Experience. It is what makes Sharp different from other providers. We focus on patient centered care and that is exactly how volunteers make a difference every shift here at Sharp Metro Campus. Patient and Family-Centered Care is responsive to priorities, preferences, and values of patients and their families.
We are actively recruiting for our Rehabilitation Teams at Sharp Metro Campus. We have multiple options for volunteers to choose from depending on their interest and schedule availability. Please note that this department is not open on the weekends. These are all weekday opportunities.
How Do Volunteers Make A Difference:
- Assist in cleaning and organizing the therapy gym(s) as assigned including, but not limited to, cleaning mat tables, disinfecting equipment, and changing linens
- Assist professional staff with clerical duties, such as filing reports, copying, faxing, and breaking down charts
- Transport patients by wheelchair within the rehabilitation center and on hospital grounds
- Assist professional staff with therapeutic activities such as transporting the LiteGait, providing equipment to patients, and tossing balls/balloons during therapeutic activities. There will be no direct, hands-on patient contact

If you are a PT student, although it is great experience, Cardiac & Pulmonary Therapies do not count towards your required hours for applying to DPT school.
If you are interested to see how we are still active and involved in the recovery process of our patients, Rehabilitation may be the best option for you!
