The Health Scholar Volunteer Program (previously known as Clinical Care Extender Program) is partnering with COPE, local universities and colleges, Hoag’s Patient Care and Volunteer Services.

Health Scholar Volunteers:

• College or university students or graduates interested in any healthcare field

• Assist staff with basic patient comfort care and service on nursing units

• Have opportunities to rotate through different nursing units, to include, but are not limited to: Medical Surgical, Telemetry, Pulmonary, Oncology, Gynecology/Urology, Brain and Spine, Cardiac ICU, Labor & Delivery, Mother Baby, Acute Rehabilitation Services, Pre/Post Operative, and Emergency Department.

Most patient care/medical related college/university programs require or suggest volunteer or community service hours. This volunteer program is designed for those interested in any patient care field (pre-med, physician assistant, nursing, radiology, physical therapy, social services, dietician, etc.) that wish to obtain hospital volunteer/community service hours.
