DCH AUXILIARY OPEN HOUSE TO HIGHLIGHT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

“Camaraderie, friendship and service to the hospital and its patients are the hallmarks of volunteering at DCH,” announced Betty Fulton, President of the Dearborn County Hospital Auxiliary.

“Currently we have 104 active volunteers in the Auxiliary,” explained Mrs. Fulton.  “Yet with Auxiliary members moving, retiring or taking leaves for travel or health reasons, we are presently in need of additional volunteers.”

To better acquaint the public with the volunteer opportunities available at DCH, the Auxiliary is hosting an open house on Monday, May 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the hospital.  All individuals interested in learning more about volunteering are invited to attend.

Auxilians at DCH serve as messengers or by staffing the Information Desk, Snack Bar and Gift Shop.  Others volunteer in the Sewing Room or in hospital departments such as Outpatient Services, Rehabilitation Services, Home Health & Hospice, Health Information Management and Community Relations.  In addition, teens may serve as junior volunteers beginning at age 15½.  Volunteers are utilized daily with shifts available in the morning, afternoon and early evening.

Interested individuals who are not able to attend the open house are invited to call Mrs. Fulton at (812) 537-8217 or (800) 676-5572, ext. 8217.  Volunteer applications are also available at the hospital’s Information Desk during normal business hours.
