The hospital volunteer work program focuses on giving back to families and patients. Volunteers generously contribute their time to make Brighton Hospital a center of hope, healing and motivation for patients and families recovering from addiction. Since the volunteer program began, volunteers have been a significant part of new beginnings for many families.

Hospital Volunteering Examples: 

• Assisting patients with locating Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings
• Volunteering in the Brighton Hospital Gift Shop
• Volunteering in the main office with collating, copying and data entry
• Greeting friends and family members on visiting days
• Helping to provide patients and families with information during the admission process
• Assisting with seasonal gardening
• Helping with special events
• Joining our Speakers Bureau

Hospital volunteering schedules are flexible and you can commit to as little as one day per month.

Volunteer Voices
“I knew I wanted to work at Brighton and volunteering was the first step.  I worked in admissions, coffee cart, family retreat, reading to patients – wherever they needed me.  I’m hoping next to move into the position of milieu tech, which is to be a liaison between patients and the nursing staff” says Jennifer Cervi, who is part of Brighton’s Volunteer Re-Entry Program.  This systemic progressive volunteer work builds trust, belief and empowerment into the lives of participants and fosters community commitment and individual responsibility within the hospital volunteers program.
