THE VOLUNTEER SERVICES DEPARTMENT
AT BEEBE HEALTHCARE
Our volunteers are known for their caring and selfless acts of kindness. Our dedicated and amazing volunteers are essential team members.
As a volunteer, you are a community ambassador for Beebe Healthcare, demonstrating our vision and values. Our volunteers are often the first person greeting individuals entering our facilities, the friendly voice answering the telephone and the extra support helping our staff with patients. We offer diverse assignments that make a difference and have a lasting, positive impact with our patients, visitors and staff.
We appreciate your consideration of a rewarding volunteer opportunity at Beebe to share your time, talent and compassion.
Adult Volunteer Program
The Adult Program is for the volunteer who is not a student in either high school or college. There are a number of opportunities for volunteering, and we strive to match the assignment to the volunteer. We love the diversity of our volunteer team and rely on the talents that they bring. Many times, we have new volunteers join us as they recently relocated to the Sussex County area. Volunteering at Beebe is a great way to become familiar with the community healthcare system and meet like-minded individuals. Volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, receive an annual flu shot, and complete lab work for TB (tuberculous), immunity statuses on MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and Varicella (chicken pox). Volunteers will also be required to fill out State and Federal background checks. The background checks and lab work are free of charge and completed at Beebe. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one (1) 4-hour shift a week and/or a minimum of 75 hours a year.
Here are the steps to begin your volunteer journey:
- Fill out the Beebe Volunteer online application.
