Volunteer Services

“ATTENTION: Spring 2010 volunteer orientations have concluded. Applications are still being accepted to be placed on the waiting list. Those on the waiting list will be among the first to receive notice when the Summer 2010 schedule is being made.”

Volunteer Services provides over 200 volunteers to the hospital who are giving approx. 25,000 hours per year to free nurses and techs to be more hands on with patients.

College Station Medical Center is most appreciative to all the people who give so unselfishly of their time and energy to volunteer in the hospital. Every aspect of what we do at the MED is pointed toward providing the highest quality in holistic healthcare. We feel that our volunteers are a vital part of meeting these needs. The hospital has two groups of volunteers, the Sunshine Auxiliary and the Aggieland Volunteers.

Sunshine Auxiliary

The Sunshine Auxiliary was established in 1974 and is the group who volunteer year round. They annually provide more than 10,000 volunteer hours. They have elected officers, an elected board, many working committees, and regular monthly meetings. This group has also provided 100 plus Healthcare Scholarships totaling over $100,000 in the past ten years. Most of our Sunshine Auxiliary volunteers give an average of 4 hours per week.

If you are interested in a fun, exciting and most fulfilling experience as you volunteer helping others, the College Station Medical Center has a place for you. Every volunteer must fill out an application, attend a three-hour orientation, and receive a negative TB test. You can complete your application on-line with one of the attachments below or you can stop by the front Information Desk and get a copy of the application. Orientations are conducted several times a year and this information is readily available by phone or e-mail. If you need more information call 979-764-5164 or e-mail Jeff.Borcherding@csmedcenter.com 

Aggieland Volunteers

Each semester scores of A&M and Blinn Students volunteer in the hospital. These students are our Aggieland Volunteers and are serving for a fixed period of time (semester by semester or year by year). They are high energy and enthusiasm as they seek to verify their calling in a healthcare profession. We give these students a wide variety of opportunities and places to serve in the hospital. Most of our Aggieland Volunteers give an average of 4 hours per week. After you have volunteered for 44 hours, you can receive letters of recommendation if needed.
