The energetic men and women who volunteer at St. Catherine Hospital are your friends and neighbors. They provide special services and make a patient's stay more pleasant. In 2003 these dedicated volunteers gave a combined total of 24,385 hours to the hospital.

Volunteers are a vital part of St. Catherine Hospital and are here to meet patient and visitor needs. Volunteers perform a variety of tasks. They deliver patient mail and flowers, act as medical office escorts, serve as volunteer chaplains and Eucharistic ministers, and staff Benincasa, the St. Catherine Hospital hospitality house for families of patients. They serve as liaisons between surgery staff and family members by keeping the family informed of the progress in surgery. They also staff the front information desk and volunteer in the Gift Nook.
