Mission - The mission of the Volunteer
Services Department of Mid Coast Hospital is to enhance
the delivery of "modern, compassionate, value-driven
healthcare for our community" by providing services
to our patients, supporting their families and supplementing
the staff and employees.
Volunteer Experience - Volunteers
work at the hospital regularly according to their own schedule
in any one of the many hospital departments. Volunteers have
the opportunity to work closely with patients and hospital
staff in areas such as ambulatory care, women's health, emergency,
intensive care, and med-surg units. Volunteers also help with
general hospital services such as working at the café
or gift shop, or assisting patients at the information desk.
Transport teams help patients navigate the hospital both inside
and out.
During the 2005/2004 school year, Bowdoin volunteers
contributed over 1034 hours of their time to the Mid Coast
Hospital volunteer program.
Membership - Each semester, approximately
30 Bowdoin students volunteer at Midcoast Hospital
