We have a diverse group of volunteers from all walks of life having one thing in common, a desire to help others. As the program grew, a department of Volunteer Services was developed in In addition, the Volunteer Services Department supports health career education through programs such as Medical Adventure Camp and Summer Health Institute, as well as an ongoing partnership with local Regional Occupational Programs.
Many of the services we provide would not be possible without the volunteers who commit their time to helping others.
To support our team of outstanding volunteers who make these services possible, please contact us at or email: volunteer SalinasValleyHealth.
