Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary volunteers offer a compassionate hand all around the health system. |
The Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary is looking for volunteers to
lend a hand at various locations around the health system. Volunteers are the
face of the hospital, interacting with patients and visitors, answering
questions and showing the way. Anyone who would like to become a volunteer may
contact Lynn Lauritzen, director of Volunteer Services, at 540-316-2910. Some
of the most pressing needs are listed below.
Front desk Escort - This is a wonderful spot for those who like to be where the
action is. If you like the more social and interactive side of hospital
volunteering, this is a good fit for you. Shifts are 7 to 11 a.m., 9a.m. to 1 p.m. and
11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Gift Shop – Here’s
an opportunity for those who want to help give retail therapy to visitors and
staff. There is a shift available in this area for every other Thursday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., for June, July and August. There are
permanent openings on Sunday, from 1 to
5 p.m. and Friday, 5 to 7:30 p.m. The Auxiliary is also looking to
fill an additional 8 to 10 a.m. shift
daily. This would be a new shift that is not offered currently. Many
patients and their families come in for early morning appointments and are
looking for a place to spend time while they wait. The Auxiliary would like to
be able to open earlier in order to meet the needs of guests, if volunteers
would be willing to support it.
Home Care Shop – The Home Care Shop caters to those
needing home care medical supplies and cancer care items, like wigs and special
clothing. Available shifts are Mondays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Wednesdays, 2 to 6
p.m.; and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 2 to 6 p.m. (The Home Care Shop and Gift Shop are run
by the Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary. All proceeds from these shops go to
the Auxiliary and the various hospital and community projects they support.)
Surgical Waiting –
Volunteers are needed to cover the surgical waiting room desk from 7 a.m. until
at least 4 p.m., or when the last surgery takes place. Four- to five-hour
shifts are available.
Fauquier Health
Rehabilitation & Nursing Center – Volunteers are needed to help with
Bingo and to pass out popcorn during special events.
The Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary is
also looking to fill a volunteer treasurer position. This person would maintain
the budget and bookkeeping for both the retail shops -- the Gift Shop and the
Home
Care Shop. The treasurer
would also work with the shop retail manager and board treasurer to maintain
the overall budget and financial bookkeeping for the Auxiliary’s most prominent
fundraising resources.
