Volunteers

Why should I be a Sanford Health Volunteer?
People give their time for many reasons. Some are former Sanford Health patients or employees. Others are retired and looking for meaningful ways to spend their time. Some want to make new friends, some are considering a career in healthcare and others want some practical experience. Though their motivation is different, they all possess the qualities that make our volunteers so special.

A little bit of your time makes a big difference.
Some of our volunteers work several days a week while others commit once a week. Remember, it only takes a moment to lend a hand or to have a positive impact on someone else's life. But the effects of one moment can last a long, long time.

We don't just take anybody.
It's true. We're particular when it comes to our volunteers. Here's what we look for in a Sanford Volunteer:

Trust

Ownership

Risk Taker

Caring

Healthy in Spirit

If this describes you, we hope you'll take a serious look at becoming a Sanford Health USD Medical Center volunteer.
