We're back again to see if someone out there really wants to join our fantastic group of PECMH Auxiliary volunteers !!

Do you have an hour or two you can spare each week to brighten someone's day at the PECM Hospital? That's all it takes... 1 or 2 hours.

Are you a friendly person who would like to chat and visit and spread a little cheer with hospital patients? Well we need you... we really do.

What are the jobs in the hospital you could do?

1) You can be a Greeter at the entrance door(s) to the hospital.. You will guide visitors to the correct area of the hospital (Xray, Emergency department, Dialysis Department, in-patient unit)...OR

2) You can be friendly visitor in the out-patient unit such as Dialysis where patients come 3X a week for their treatment. Some like to have a cold or hot drink brought to them. Some want to have a chat with a volunteer.

If you would like to discuss any of these volunteer opportunities, contact us at

volunteer@pechhaux.ca.

An Auxiliary volunteer will be in touch with you to chat either by email or by phone.

Hope to hear from you friendly folks out there :)

Hello there friends and neighbours.... ladies AND gentlemen.

Once again we are reaching out in search of new smiling faces who would like to volunteer at the PECM Hospital.

Do you like to chat and put people at ease? We have just the job for you.

Can you only spare 1 or 2 hours during the week? We have just the job for you.

Do you want to volunteer but you are worried about sacrificing your personal summer hours with your friends and family? Not to worry!!! This won't happen.

If you come forward right now and express an interest in volunteering with the PECM Hospital Auxiliary, it generally takes 6-8 weeks to have the volunteer paperwork processed.

This means you can apply now... and not start work until September/October. It's a win/win situation.

We are always looking for volunteers to act as friendly visitors with the outpatients in the Dialysis unit.

Volunteers can also act as a "Greeter" to man the desk at the Emergency entrance and guide visitors to the correct area of the hospital (such as Xray, Dialysis, Emerg, Endoscopy, and don't forget the vending machines )

We'd love to have a chat with you. Contact us by email at

volunteer@pecmhaux.ca

Someone from the Auxiliary will get in touch to discuss volunteering opportunities with PECM Hospital Auxiliary.

Cheers !! 🏥🩺🩻👍
