Piedmont Medical Center Volunteer Auxiliary

Some of the most visible and valuable people at Piedmont Medical Center are its volunteers. These special people volunteer their time and efforts to help us ensure quality service at Piedmont. Nearly 200 men and women from the surrounding area are members of Piedmont's Volunteer Auxiliary, and we're always looking for individuals who share our commitment to service to join our family.

Unfortunately we are not taking new volunteers due to Covid-19.  Please check in with us again after the holidays....Thank you

Volunteers at Piedmont are men and women, ranging in age from teens to senior citizens. They are students, homemakers, retirees as well as professionals with full- and part-time jobs interested in giving back to the community through volunteerism. Volunteers work in various departments in the hospital and have different kinds of responsibilities, such as escorting patients, or working in the various admitting departments helping families. They also deliver flowers to patient rooms and help at the front desk.

In addition to their volunteer efforts, members of Piedmont's Volunteer Auxiliary support Piedmont's mission through a variety of programs aimed at benefiting the community.  These include:

Lights for Love: During the holiday season, the volunteers sponsor a fundraising event in which anyone interested can purchase a light on the Christmas tree in honor, recognition or remembrance of a special someone. 

Gift Shop: The hospital gift shop provides a variety of merchandise for patients, visitors and employees and is managed entirely by the Volunteer Auxiliary. Proceeds from the gift shop benefit the Auxiliary Nursing Scholarship endeavor.

Annual Book Fair and Jewelry Sale: Twice a year, volunteers schedule both book and jewelry sales at Piedmont for the employees and visitors.

The New Attitude Room: A special room that is staffed by trained volunteers offers free wigs, scarves and accessories to women experiencing the effects of cancer treatment.

The Mended Hearts: These are people who are trained Mended Hearts volunteers, former heart patients themselves, that visit heart patients to answer questions, be of moral support and to help make the time through treatment and recovery easier for the patient and family.
