PECM Hospital Auxiliary, Picton

04/21/2026

Ignite Volunteerism! This National Volunteer Week, we are proud to celebrate the amazing volunteers of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

Our volunteers are a warm and welcoming presence in our hospital and community. You greet people with kindness, offer comfort and reassurance when it matters most, and help patients and families feel supported and cared for.

Through your fundraising, gift shops, and many special initiatives, you make a real and lasting difference. Your efforts help support important equipment, programs, and spaces that improve care for patients and families across our region.

Just as important is the legacy you carry forward. Many of our Auxiliary members have dedicated years—even decades—of service, showing the strong connection between our hospital and the community we proudly serve. This commitment is what makes PECMH a true community hospital.

To every Auxiliary member: thank you. Your time, energy, and dedication do not go unnoticed, and they are deeply appreciated.

Together, you remind us every day that small acts of kindness and service make a big difference in the care we provide and the experience we create for patients and families.

Have you ever thought about volunteering at the PECMHospital?

Would you be interested in working just 1 hour/week to assist on the inpatient ward ? That's all it will take... only 1 hour.

Volunteers are needed to assist the patients with the set up of their dinner meal trays that are delivered to the rooms by the kitchen staff.

This service is arranged by the PECMH Auxiliary at the hospital's dinnertime meal hour which is approximately 4:30-5:30 pm.

Volunteers visit the patient rooms and remove lids from food/drink containers, poke straws into juice boxes, prepare coffee/tea mugs with sugar/cream etc.

Some lively conversation with patients is also much appreciated and helps them on the road to recovery.

If interested, new volunteers can also be trained to work the mid-day shift which involves visiting with patients and offering a variety of activities such as crossword puzzles, word search, novels, colouring, newspapers and magazines to read. Friendly conversation is a big part of the volunteer's job.

If you are an outgoing individual that would be interested in getting further details about volunteering in the PECM Hospital, please contact the Auxiliary Recruitment manager at the following email address and provide your phone number where you can be reached.
