RMH Volunteer Auxillary, Sentara RMH Medical Center

At Sentara RMH Medical Center, Sentara RMH Auxillary (RMHVA) volunteers are people just like you who offer their time and energy to helping our community and enhancing the quality of care provided to patients and visitors of Sentara RMH. Volunteers can choose the amount of time they give to Sentara RMH, whether it is a few hours a week or a few days a month. Some of the ways in which volunteers serve include:

 

•     Greeting and providing information to patients and visitors;
•     Escorting patients for tests or medical procedures;
•     Assisting customers in Sentara RMH Gifts & Floral;
•     Delivering newspapers, magazines, flowers and mail to patients;
•     Assisting patients and visitors in the Emergency Department, Hahn Cancer Center, Surgical Services, Heart and Vascular Center and other care areas;
•     Helping with special projects.

The RMH Volunteer Auxiliary makes possible some very special projects in the hospital, including:

•     Comfort toys, which are provided to pediatric patients to help comfort them during a test, treatment or surgical procedure;
•     Financial support—each year, the Sentara RMHVA makes a financial gift to the hospital through the RMH Foundation. This gift is used to purchase medical equipment and fill other special needs of the hospital.
