Hospital Volunteers: Support Brighton Through Volunteer Work
The hospital volunteer work program at our drug and alcohol treatment center 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.

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.
