Welcome to Nyack Hospital Volunteer Services!

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, to learn new skills and a way to give back to the community. You will be joining a group of warm, caring and talented group of men, women, and students who volunteer each year and make a difference in the lives of our patients, their families, and our staff.  Our volunteers come from unique backgrounds but are commonly interested in helping others.

Our goal is to assist you in finding a volunteer position that you will enjoy.  Some assignments may involve working directly with patients, while others focus on more clerical program support. Availability of assignments will vary depending upon the needs of a particular department or program at any given time.

We appreciate the gift of your time and energy.  

Sincerely,

The Volunteer Department Staff
