Volunteer Your Time

Volunteering at Good Samaritan Medical Center is a long-standing tradition, which we are very proud of.  We invite you to join in this tradition by exploring the volunteer opportunities available here.  

As you walk into Good Samaritan Medical Center, one of the very first people you'll see is a volunteer. Hundreds of people a day are given information on how to reach a room or meeting; sold gifts or flowers for friends or a family member; escorted to a treatment room or had relatives soothed in the Emergency Department. These jobs are done by our volunteers.

Behind the scenes, volunteers put together thousands of patient charts, travel from department to department with medical records and lab tests, fold and label thousands of letters or newsletters, run errands, and provide other needed assistance in nursing units for both patients and staff. 

Volunteers have a choice of working at our two sites, Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton and the Goddard Center in Stoughton.

Day, evening and weekend placements are available as well as short-term placement for school, church or community service requirements. Volunteer opportunities are available each day of the week, generally between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Our current volunteer opportunities include:

• Greeting patients and visitors
• Providing patient directory information
• Escorting patients to their destinations within the hospital
• Assisting the spiritual care department
• Answering caller questions
• Helping customers in our gift shops
• Computer data entry and clerical assistance
• Assisting in the gift shops, information desk and emergency department

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to learn more about the opportunities available, please call the volunteer and guest services department at 508-427-3003.
