A volunteer is a person who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
Are you that person?
Volunteers are special people who donate their time and effort to the patients, residents, families and staff of Halifax Regional Health System. For more than 50 years the hospital has benefited from the generosity of volunteers. In FY2012, 137 volunteers gave over 24,000 hours of service. We are a member of the Virginia Association of Hospital Auxiliaries and Volunteers.
