Volunteers are a vital part of the Swedish Family, providing additional support and care to our patients and families. There are 30 different areas in the hospital where volunteers offer their services from the Information Desk and the Gift Gallery to serving as hosts and hostesses on the patient-care floors and in the surgery waiting areas.
