Volunteers are critical members of the hospital team.  We hope that through our volunteer program, you will discover that your skills, enthusiasm and experience make a difference in our ability to deliver quality healthcare. In return for your valuable service, we are pleased to offer you a chance to do meaningful and important work, make new friends, see new faces, participate in special programs and projects, and receive recognition for your efforts.

Carolinas Medical Center-Mercy combines a high level of professionalism and technology, but with the equally important human touch. And that's where your volunteer spirit can be of help. You can be a healing, high-touch presence at work in a high-tech environment. You can help alleviate the natural fears and apprehensions of the patient and family with your courteous and helpful service. You can help reduce isolation and stress of being hospitalized by delivering mail or flowers to a patient, filling a water pitcher, escorting a family member to the appropriate area, running errands or performing clerical duties for the staff.
