Consider the joy in doing something that not only gives you a feeling of accomplishment, but also makes a difference in the lives of the people around you every day.

The Volunteers of Danville Regional Medical Center and their continuous gift of time, energy and devotion carry on a loving tradition. Over 300 volunteers donate an average of 48,000 hours of time to the medical center each year.

These special individuals play a key role in the caring image of Danville Regional, performing critical services ranging from assisting in the Emergency Department to managing the surgical waiting room.

To show our volunteers how much we value their service to Danville Regional, there are several benefits which go along with the feeling of satisfaction of performing a valuable service to our patients and staff. Our volunteers are entitled to:

• Free coffee in the Snack Shop
• Free lunch for 5 hours service in one day
• Birthday cards
• Christmas Party
• Awards Service with favors and service pins
• Associate discount prices in cafeteria
• Door prizes and refreshments during our Volunteer Week celebration
• Free flu shots
• Access to the medical center pharmacy
• 10% discount in Dogwood Gift Gallery

Also available is our very special Junior Volunteer Program. Youth at least 14 years old may participate in this program while on summer vacation, performing most jobs done by the adult volunteers. This experience helps the Junior Volunteer learn to focus on others' needs instead of their own and is an excellent way to meet other people. It also offers the opportunity to learn responsibility and opens avenues for college and job experience.
