Volunteer/Auxiliary Services
 
Since 1961, the Hospital Auxiliary has
been the channel by which members of the community can support the
hospital and The Grove Nursing Home, through fund-raising programs
and by assisting staff in patient and resident care. It began when a
group of women saw a need for sewing and mending items for the
hospital. Over the years, the Auxiliary has grown, adding programs
to meet the changing needs of the hospital and the nursing home.
Our Mission Statement
The Auxiliary to the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital is a
group of dedicated volunteers who assist Health Care Providers at
the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital and The Grove - Arnprior
and District Nursing Home. We do this by helping to bring quality
care and comfort to patients and residents in a spirit of generosity
and compassion.
As we strive to reflect the care of our community, Auxiliary
Volunteers participate in approved fundraising activities and
community partnerships. (September 2001).
What is the volunteer program?
The Coordinator of Voluntary Services works closely with the
Hospital Auxiliary to provide volunteer services within the hospital
and nursing home. There are over 300 volunteers who provide over
22,000 hours of service annually.
Volunteers at the hospital and nursing
home contribute in a variety of areas: serving customers in the
Opportunity Shop and Gift Shop to helping with patient activities,
administering the HELPP lottery, and assisting in an office or
distributing magazines. You may volunteer several times a week or
once a month - whatever suits your schedule and interests.
New volunteers:
New volunteers are made aware of the various programs and are placed
according to their abilities, preferences and need. Volunteers
receive a thorough orientation to their new position and
automatically become members of the Auxiliary.
Youth Volunteers
Volunteers are the back bone of our organization and play an
important role with our patients and residents. We are especially
happy to welcome youth volunteers.
