Youth Volunteer Summer Session

Being a volunteer is a great way to test out the medical profession. Consider this program for your summer break to learn about having compassion for others while gaining experience supporting patients, families, and staff in a hospital setting. This program is open to youth 14 – 17 years of age.

Not interested in pursuing a career in medicine? No big deal! Volunteer opportunities are available in non-clinical areas, including The Gift Shop.

Applications are accepted in the first few weeks of May. Please mark your calendar and check this page then.

 

Volunteer FAQs

  • Why Volunteer?

    It’s proven that people who volunteer enjoy a sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction. And while you’re at it, you’re going to make new friends, support a good cause, and possibly discover career opportunities!

  • Where can I volunteer?

    Volunteers provide services throughout the hospital, in nearly every service area, including:

    Emergency Department • Surgery Center + Endoscopy • Gift Shop • Same Day Surgery • Information Desks + Waiting Area Reception (multiple locations) • Clinical Offices • Patient Services

  • How will I be trained?

    Volunteers receive “on-the-job” training in their assigned service area from experienced staff and volunteers who serve in the same role.

  • Who can volunteer?

    Anyone who is at least 18 years of age and is helpful, caring, and willing to respect confidentiality. We welcome people of all ages! There is no maximum age limit as long as the individual is physically and mentally able to independently perform duties outlined in their service description.

    Volunteers must provide documentation of certain health-related items and pass a background check before they begin service. Onboarding can easily take up to two weeks (gathering and submitting documentation or completing lab work, sitting for an interview, and completing the background check and general orientation).

Karman Legacy Hospice Volunteer Program

Hospices depend on their volunteers. Without the efforts of volunteers, hospices could not continue their important work. Patients and families depend on hospice care. No one else provides the kind of services that hospice does. By attending to the needs of both the patients and their loved ones, hospice care can be a huge comfort for the entire family.

Hospice Volunteers serve in many ways.

  • Keep the patient company
  • Listen to concerns
  • Be a support person
  • Read aloud
  • Help staff with office work and other behind-the-scenes tasks

Duties will vary depending on the patient’s and family’s needs and what the volunteer can and is comfortable doing.

Minimum Hospice Volunteer Requirements

The requirements for hospice volunteers have been put together by combining state regulations with those of Stillwater Medical’s Karman Legacy Hospice.

Volunteers must complete 12 hours of well-rounded self-directed core training and attend at least three in-services a year. In-services are similar to most organization meetings: a discussion topic and/or speaker, announcements, and food. Additional training is required for volunteers who wish to learn more about bereavement and how to help families with the grief they experience after losing a loved one. Confidentiality forms, background checks, fingerprinting, and inoculations are also required for those who wish to volunteer. All volunteers are invited to participate in special events and parties. We ask our volunteers to do as much—or as little—as possible.

Those wishing to participate in Karman Legacy Hospice’s training sessions need to contact Valerie Bloodgood, KLH’s Volunteer Coordinator, at (405) 377-8012 or stop by the KLH office at 1311 S. Western, Stillwater, OK 74074.
