Volunteer
Help others, have fun and make our community healthier!
As a non-profit public hospital, Oak Valley relies heavily on the generosity of our volunteer base. Oak Valley volunteers are an integral component of our team, by improving patient care and service across all departments.
Ways to volunteer:
- Aid in patient comfort by serving meals and beverages.
- Staff the information desk in the hospital lobby.
- Many clerical details are handled by our volunteers.
- Become part of the hospital gift shop.
Anyone looking for a rewarding, community-oriented way to spend their time is welcome to apply for our volunteer staff. Volunteers should have a cheerful disposition and an earnest desire to help others.
Those interested in volunteering can download and complete this application, and then mail it to 350 South Oak Avenue, Oakdale, CA 95361. After we receive your application, we will schedule you for an interview and find the perfect place for you on our team.
