Volunteer

Volunteers play a major role at Wood County Hospital. Annually, more than 500 generous volunteers collectively donate nearly 30,000 hours for the benefit of the Wood County Hospital community. Our volunteers can be seen escorting patients, making deliveries, serving as liasions between our staff and the families of surgical patients, staffing the gift shop and greeting visitors at our Welcome Centers.

We have numerous volunteer opportunities to suit a variety of skills and interests. You truly can make a difference – in the lives of patients and in the overall health of our community.
