Since its inception in 1953, Mary Lanning Healthcare Auxiliary/Volunteer Services has had the privilege of placing and working with countless volunteers. Volunteers play a vital role in customer care at Mary Lanning Healthcare. We strive to place volunteers where their talents are best used and interests are met. The Auxiliary provides volunteers to more than 20 service areas to assist the facility. A few of those areas include: entrance ambassador, gift shop and Garden View Grill attendants, office assistants, PAC -2 Daycare, hostess carts and more. Volunteer opportunities are scheduled Monday – Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Requirements
All volunteers are required to complete background checks, adhere to the Mary Lanning code of conduct, and attend an orientation session as well training in the service area. We ask that volunteers commit to at least 100 hours. Hours are recorded by the volunteer at the end of the service.

Benefits
It is a well-known fact that those who volunteer are happier, feel more connected, healthier and more active. These are just a few of the benefits of volunteering for Mary Lanning Healthcare. Others include discounts in the gift shop, cafeteria/grill, health club and health fair. The auxiliary and administration host an appreciation banquet in April. You will also be offered a free flu shot annually. Your time and talents can help others and enhance your life as well.
