We invite you...

...to explore the many volunteer opportunities available at Harford Memorial Hospital and Upper Chesapeake Medical Center.

Our diverse group of volunteers share their skills and expertise in over 30 different hospital departments by assisting team members, patients, and visitors. Whether they are in the Gift Shops, Resource Libraries, Surgical Waiting Areas, Information Desks, or Patient Floors, our volunteers serve with the common vision that they can make a difference in the health of our community.

Now over 800 strong, our volunteers give their time and expertise to meet the needs of our patients. In addition to the clerical and clinical positions, volunteers at UCH also have the opportunity to interact with our patients through the Healing Clowns, Volunteer Clergy, and Pets on Wheels programs.

Opportunities are also available year-round for junior volunteers who are defined as being ages 15-17 or have completed the ninth grade.
