Volunteer Opportunities at Holzer Health Systems
Volunteering at Holzer Health Systems is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. One of the best things about volunteering is the satisfaction you gain from doing something for others. We work with our volunteers to match their interests and talents with the needs that exist throughout the hospital and other facilities.
At Holzer Health System, seniors are an especially valuable volunteer resource. Many are retirees, active seniors who are not content to sit at home. They bring many years of experience to the hospital each day, along with their generous hearts. They are also valuable because of the long-term commitment they make to the hospital. Many of our seniors have been active volunteers for ten, fifteen, and twenty years, or more.
For students, the rewards of volunteering are just as valuable. Volunteering offers opportunities to learn about careers, and is a great way to find out if caring for others is the right field for you. At some schools, volunteer hours are required for graduation. By choosing the right place to volunteer, students can turn a requirement into a good experience with benefits for years to come.
For others, volunteering provides a stepping stone to re-enter the job market. Volunteer positions offer learning opportunities for people of all ages and interests. Volunteering says good things about you when you apply for a paid position; it sets you apart from the crowd and provides positive insight about your character. The skills you gain as a volunteer will give you confidence and boost your resume with new abilities and experiences.
It takes special people to give freely of their valuable time and talents to help others. Our volunteers are valued and appreciated as a vital part of daily operations. There are a variety of opportunities, where volunteers can do many different kinds of work. No matter what your interests or talents, there is a place for you as a Holzer Health Systems volunteer.

Holzer Senior Outreach
A free service, Holzer Senior Outreach reaches out to isolated seniors, providing a telephone reassurance program, home assistance, and a health education loan library. Telephone calls are made to seniors on a daily basis, reminding them to take their medication, to make sure they are safe, and for socialization. This routine contact often provides family members and caregivers with a sense of ease when the senior is alone in their home.
Holzer Senior Outreach serves Gallia, Jackson, Meigs, Vinton, Lawrence, Athens, Scioto and Ross Counties in Ohio and Mason County in West Virginia. Residents of other counties may also be considered.
If you know of a senior who would benefit from this service, or you would like to volunteer with Holzer Senior Outreach, please call (740) 441-3921.

Each volunteer brings to hospice a unique style, as well as a set of skills and experiences which greatly enhance the functioning and scope of the services we can provide. By assisting in the reduction of costs, volunteers help assure that our resources will always be there for those in need.
Volunteer services are provided under the direction of a volunteer coordinator whose skills, qualifications, and experience are commensurate with the supervision and training needs of volunteers under their supervision. A volunteer coordinator works closely with other members of the hospice interdisciplinary team to assign and monitor volunteer activities.

Teen Volunteers at Holzer Hospice
Holzer Hospice Teen Volunteer program offers
volunteer opportunities for teens who want to give back
to the community. The Program is for
teenagers between the ages of 13 and 20 who want to make
a difference to Holzer Hospice patients and families, in
addition to providing a method for teens who have school
community service hours to fulfill.
Activities performed by teen
volunteers include visiting patients, cooking and
baking, providing activities for visitors, assisting
with fundraising activities, and office support. We
work with the teen volunteers to see what they would
like to do. A gesture such as baking cookies may seem
small, but is truly appreciated by our patients and
families, and will help volunteers feel good about what
they can do.
If you or a community group would like more
information about the Teen Volunteer Program at Holzer
Hospice, please call locally, (740) 446-5074 or toll
free, 1-800-500-4850.
