Volunteer Opportunities
Our generous volunteers are a key part of our mission to advance health care in our community. Men and women of all ages give thousands of hours assisting patients, their families and staff members and help in nearly all departments of Lake Norman Regional Medical Center.
While we work with our new volunteers to help them find the most fulfilling opportunity, we also work hard to ensure the position utilizes their talents and fits their schedule. In addition to donating their personal time, volunteers raise funds for hospital projects. In past years, they have donated new furniture for the chapel, wheelchairs, a resuscitation mannequin and an activity table for young visitors.

Junior Volunteers
The Volunteer Auxiliary regrets to inform students that, unfortunately, the Summer 2020 Junior Volunteer Program is canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis and continuing visitor restrictions to the hospital.
Rising high school juniors and seniors, our Junior Volunteers have the opportunity to work with and observe experienced health care personnel in the workplace. In addition to being a rewarding community service, the experience has led many former volunteers to pursue careers in health care.
