Central Michigan Community Hospital welcomes volunteers to help in many areas of the hospital. All volunteers are required to interview with the Director of Volunteer Services prior to volunteering and must be 18 years or older with a high school degree. Please call the Director of Volunteer Services at (989) 772-6815 to set up an interview and find out more about the many opportunities to volunteer at Central Michigan Community Hospital.
Two specific areas of Volunteer Services that fall under different orientations and guidelines are listed below:
Students
Central Michigan Community Hospital has volunteer opportunities for students over the age of 18 years old with a high school degree. Orientations are offered three times a year corresponding with college semesters. These volunteers are expected to give a 25-hour per semester commitment to volunteering at CMCH.

Chaplains
The Chaplains are another group of volunteers at CMCH. The Chaplain Program is non-denominational and staffed by trained volunteers. The purpose of the Chaplain Program is to provide spiritual and emotional support for hospital patients, families, visitors, and staff. It is also to assist the hospital in providing a holistic approach to healing and recovery of patients. Orientation for new Chaplains is held annually.
New Chaplain Training is scheduled for Saturday, October 23, 2010. Please call (989) 772-6815 for more information.
