KMC volunteering offers a broad range of satisfying work opportunities, and at many different levels of
commitment and ability. A teen volunteer program also is available in the summers for young people 15
years old and up in a variety of areas.
KMC volunteers participate in more than 100 job classifications, with varying time commitments and
schedules. Assignments include areas of patient care, escorting, receptionist, office assisting,
community services, gift shop and patient and family services. Volunteers also coordinate in collating,
folding, taping and zipcoding pieces of outgoing mail for the medical center, brighten patients' days
by bringing them flowers and mail from their friends and relatives, discharge patients from the
hospital or wheel them from their rooms to appointments in the hospital, or inspect baby caps knitted
by volunteers for new mothers.
