Volunteer Opportunities

Clarendon Health System is able to serve the health and wellness needs of the community thanks to our many dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers provide valuable services that supplement the services provided by our physicians and professional staff. They also contribute to the quality patient care the community has come to know and help to create an understanding of the hospital and its services throughout the community.

Clarendon Health System recognizes and appreciates the contributions of its volunteers who devote personal time and provide assistance to the patients, their families and the hospital staff. To show our appreciation, active volunteers are eligible for the following benefits:

• Volunteer uniform
• Tax deductions for mileage to and from Clarendon Memorial
• Annual flu vaccination
• Free meal per four hours shift worked
• Annual awards and recognition luncheon

Hospital Volunteers

The smiling faces you see when you come to Clarendon Memorial are some of our volunteers. They staff the information desk in Clarendon Memorial’s front lobby, greeting our guests and providing directional and patient location information. They serve as roving hosts/hostesses who provide for the needs of families in the main lobby as well as other areas of the hospital. Our volunteers assist outpatients and newly admitted patients in finding their way to various departments in the hospital. They also provide clerical assistance throughout the hospital.

Clarendon Memorial Hospital Auxiliary

Thanks to the fundraising efforts of Clarendon Memorial Hospital Auxiliary volunteers, several of Clarendon Memorial’s departments receive equipment that helps them deliver the best possible care to our patients.

Auxiliary volunteers raise funds through several projects and events throughout the year. Items purchased by these funds have included wheelchairs for patient transport, software for diabetes education through the dietary department, a Global Positioning System for Emergency Medical Services, office equipment for various departments and much more.

The Auxiliary:

• Holds a jewelry show at least twice a year
• Holds two book fairs at least twice a year
• Coordinates the Lights for Love Campaign that runs from mid-November to January, in which donations are made in honor or memory of a loved one. A highlight of the campaign is a tree lighting service on the first Tuesday of December at the Cypress Center that includes entertainment by local K-4 students and a visit from Santa.
• Hosts an Employee Picnic in May for Hospital Appreciation Week in which hospital staff are treated to BBQ chicken with fixings prepared and served by Auxiliary members and other volunteers.
• Represents Clarendon Memorial twice a year at the Coastal District meeting in March and the President’s Summit in October.

The Auxiliary currently has about 35 volunteers. If you would like to be an Auxiliary volunteer, please call 803.473.2802.
