For a few hours a week, you can be part of a world-class team at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center & Children's Hospital through its volunteer program. This is a place where medical miracles happen every day and where leading-edge research is translated into extraordinary care for patients and their families. Providence is also a place where healing occurs, not only by medical and surgical intervention, but by the touch of a hand, a shared smile, a listening ear, a prayer or a knowing wink. It's a place where you can make a difference through your acts of kindness, making life better for you and for those you help.
We have a number of volunteer positions available. Once you complete an application and onboarding process, we can place you in a position suited to your strengths. All volunteers must complete an application, background check and a pre-service training. Volunteers will be placed in a department or division of the hospital after completion of the training to match your skills with the right service opportunity. Practicum students are welcome.
With 644 beds, Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center & Children's Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the Northwest, employing more than 4,000 health care professionals and support staff. Our medical staff provides the expertise and skills of over 800 specialists and primary care doctors. Volunteers, who provide support to many hospital services, include 400 women, men and young people. Following in the footsteps of our early pioneer sisters and their lay colleagues, Sacred Heart employees serve the Providence Mission and Values in providing for the contemporary health care needs of people throughout the Inland Northwest.
World-class care – close to home
When Mother Joseph and the Sisters of Providence founded Sacred Heart Medical Center in 1886, it was a small, 31-bed facility built along the Spokane River. Since then, we’ve become a major regional medical center featuring the best doctors, specialists and staff around.
We’re home to a regional cancer center, a transplant center, the only Level II Pediatric Trauma Center and Level IV NICU in Eastern Washington, specialty care, support groups and more. That means you don’t have to travel across town or across the state to find world-class medical care – because we’re right here, close to home.
From the admissions staff and dietary specialists, to nurses and surgeons, the team at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center is committed to providing quality health care in an atmosphere of compassion, personal service and respect. Whether you’re here for surgery or recovering from an illness, we’ll make your stay as comfortable, safe and pleasant as possible.
