Volunteering at Oaklawn Hospital

A cherished group within the Oaklawn family is the Oaklawn Hospital Auxiliary. This group of nearly 170 volunteers has raised significant sums of money for patient care and equipment, and dedicated countless hours to assisting patients and visitors since it was organized in 1951. This entirely volunteer group manages and staffs the Gift Shop and Information Desk, works in patient areas, assists with blood drives, and makes many other valuable contributions to the hospital staff and patients.

Whatever your skills or interest, there's a volunteer activity at Oaklawn that you could fill, and we can fit almost anyone's schedule - from a few hours a year, to a few days a week. For a most rewarding use of your time, consider joining the Oaklawn Hospital Auxiliary.
