Becoming a Sky Ridge Volunteer
A cheery smile, a kind word and a caring touch is what our incredible Sky Ridge volunteers offer our patients and their families on a daily basis. Their warmth and commitment helps set Sky Ridge apart from other hospitals. Our volunteers are from varied backgrounds and experience, but they have one thing in common—a desire to do something meaningful. They give their time and talent to make a difference with our patients, families, physicians and staff.
