The women and men who donate their time and special skills to Tulane's Volunteer Department are a valued resource and an important part of our health care team. They enrich lives of our patients, staff and visitors. While they do not replace our paid staff, the volunteers support and complement the services our staff provides.
Volunteers help create and promote an understanding of Tulane Hospital and its quality care within the community. Tulane's Volunteer Director works hard to make the best use of each volunteer's unique skills and talents, and assigns or creates tasks to utilize these strengths.
Volunteers commonly perform services such as dietary clerk, information desk receptionist, labor and delivery receptionist, nursing unit assistant, office assistant, radiology assistant, waiting room receptionist, and gift shop clerk, among other tasks.
