Project Contact volunteers enhance the quality of care in the Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine by providing assistance to staff and patients, facilitating various aspects of the visit to improve the overall experience and contribute to quality healthcare.

Project Contact volunteers will work directly with patients, families and medical professionals while observing and learning in a modern fast paced emergency room. You will help feed patients, attend to non-medical needs, stock supplies, transport patients and retrieve medications as you make the most of compassionate care and good communication skills.
