Now that the coronavirus pandemic has subsided, the two Samaritan Health Services hospitals in Lincoln County need to replenish their ranks of volunteers.
Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport and Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City are seeking people of all ages for a variety of tasks.
Volunteers greet patients and visitors at the guest assistance desk or information desk just inside the main entrances of the two hospitals. They also work in the gift shop and assist with special projects.
Potential volunteers need to fill out an application and be interviewed by a coordinator at each hospital to discuss appropriate placement and schedules. People can go to www.samhealth.org/Volunteer for more details or contact Melissa Maxon, Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, Maxonm@samhealth.org or 541-574-2537 or Kathy Smith, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, kathysmith@samhealth.org or 541-557-7132.
