Our practice is seeking volunteers* to help provide a friendlier and more personal experience for our patients when they come to Kenmore. If you have received excellent care at Harvard Vanguard —or have family members who have—and you wish to give back to our practice, volunteering may be the perfect way for you to do so.
Why Volunteer?
There are many reasons for donating your time to others. You may value the opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives. The social interaction that comes with helping people may be important to you. Or, you may enjoy the chance to give back to the community. Volunteering at Harvard Vanguard offers all of those benefits, plus the fun of working with a great group of caring people in a safe and comfortable setting.
We are looking for volunteers to work a minimum of four hours, typically mid-morning or mid-afternoon, Monday through Friday.
What Will You Do?
- Read stories to our pediatric patients
- Direct patients to departments
- Escort new patients to departments
- Assist patients with wheelchairs
- Monitor the lobby and assist patients with elevators
- Become a member of our events committee
