Why We Have Volunteers 

Volunteers supplement the basic and essential functions of the professional staff by providing services that add to the comfort, care and happiness of our patients.  Volunteers also promote understanding in the community of Grady Health System's services and mission.

Volunteers at Grady Health System are not permitted to take on any tasks or responsibilities that fall outside the scope of the volunteer role.

Any tasks or responsibilities that can only legally be performed by a member of a licenced or regulated profession (physician, pharmacist, physiotherapist, nurse, laboratory technician, etc.) are not included in any volunteer job descriptions.

Volunteering will not allow you the opportunity to practice or develop your clinical or technical skills, nor are our volunteer roles designed to be professional internship opportunities. Also, for reasons of patient privacy, Grady Health System does not permit volunteers to shadow physicians or other health-care professionals.
