Stanford Hospitals & Clinics

The Volunteer Resources Department at Stanford Hospitals and Clinics requires that candidates interested in volunteering commit to 100 hours of service. Due to extremely high demand, your time must be a continuous six-month commitment of 1 shift per week (3-4 hours per shift). Volunteers are not shadowing, observing or interning, but rather are in non-clinical roles enhancing the patient experience.
