Medical Center

Volunteers are a valuable asset to Stillwater Medical Center and are considered very special people. The presence and the assistance they provide enhances the quality of care we are able to offer to patients and families.

Each year, 200+ volunteers provide the health system with over 45,000 hours of valuable service. Our team of volunteers consists of women, men, teens, and college students with a variety of backgrounds and interests. All volunteers are placed in specific areas of the hospital by the Volunteer Services Department.

Whatever skills, talents or interests you have, we can find a volunteer job for you. We invite you to become part of our volunteer team.
