Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers provide crucial support services that are vital to the hospital and the well-being of its patients. Each day, willing volunteers come to the Fairfield Memorial Hospital to donate their time and energy so that we can fulfill the mission of positively influencing the health of those we serve. Whether it is delivering flowers, guiding visitors, lending a caring hand, or helping in the gift shop, FMH volunteers make a difference.
Those who volunteer are rewarded with many benefits through volunteering at the hospital including:
- Learn new skills and meet new people
