Auxiliary and Volunteer Opportunities

Help Someone While You Help Yourself:

Volunteering is a great way to help yourself while you help others. At Grey Bruce Health Services volunteers are an integral and important part of our team.

They work in all seven of our hospitals in a variety of patient care and service areas assisting us in reaching our goal of providing quality care close to home. They also work very hard through our Auxiliaries and Foundations fundraising to assist with the purchase of capital equipment for our hospitals.

Volunteering at Grey Bruce Health Services gives you the chance to:

• Meet new people
• Give back to your community
• Help others
• Learn new skills and use those you already have
• Experience a new career option
• Add meaning to your life!
