Office of Volunteer Services

At USA Health University Hospital, volunteers help to comfort and tend to patients of all ages. We seek out passionate, motivated and committed individuals of all ages and backgrounds to work in our service departments. Our volunteers contribute to University Hospital by assisting on patient floors, “driving” the Jolly Trolley cart, transporting patients and much more.
