Volunteer Services
At Winter Haven Hospital
VOLUNTEER - "Caring is Sharing"
With a total of 888 beds, Winter Haven Hospital cares
for more than 430,000 patients each year. Serving central Florida since
1926, the Hospital now has campuses in two locations . . . the Regency
Medical Center and Winter Haven Hospital. Specialty services include
cardiac care, neurosurgery, orthopedics, women's medicine, dialysis, cancer
treatment, psychiatry, physical rehabilitation and many other areas.
Winter Haven Hospital is the cornerstone of one of
Florida's largest locally owned and operated healthcare networks,
Mid-Florida Medical Services. It is dedicated to outstanding personalized
healthcare and excellence in medicine.
Volunteers come from all age groups - teenagers through
retirees - and from all walks of life and varying professions: teachers,
business people, nurses, homemakers and students. They all have in common
their own "special" skills, experience and willingness to help
and comfort patients as well as provide support for Hospital Staff.
A Tradition of Service
The core of our Volunteer Services is the Winter Haven
Hospital Auxiliary which provides financial support, direction and
leadership. Since 1938, the Winter Haven Hospital Auxiliary has contributed
thousands of hours of valuable service. The Auxiliary has also donated more
than $812,000 to help finance Hospital building projects, purchase new
equipment and sponsor healthcare related programs. These contributions will
continue to grow as an example of the Auxiliary's continued support of the
Hospital's mission.
The Winter Haven Hospital Auxiliary is a vital and
integral part of the Hospital team. The Auxiliary operates the Hospital's
Gift Shops located at Regency, Winter Haven Hospital, and Gil Jones Campus: and a "Gift Cart," a mini-gift
shop which allows patients the convenience of shopping from their room. The
ongoing service of the Auxiliary touches the lives of manyÉpatients,
visitors, physicians and employees alike.
Getting Involved
The Volunteer Services' 700-plus membership ranges from
14 to the 90's. Training is provided in Service Assignments and each
Volunteer becomes acquainted and familiarized with Winter Haven Hospital
and the Volunteer Services Department by attending a comprehensive
orientation program.
Lend Your Heart, Soul and Warmth
Anyone who has an interest in helping others is
qualified. And because Winter Haven Hospital has two campuses, there are
volunteer opportunities at the Regency Medical Center and Winter Haven
Hospital. Hours are flexible, too. Winter Haven Hospital has a special
place and a rewarding job just for you.
