Contagious Smiles, Comforting Presences, Huge Hearts
Our volunteers make each Ascension Seton hospital feel like home. When you join the team of Ascension Seton Volunteers, you’re not just joining a group – you’re becoming part of our Ascension Seton family! Our volunteers are a diverse group of dedicated people with a heart to serve others. When you walk through the front doors of an Ascension Seton hospital, a volunteer is likely the first person you’ll see. Teachers, grandparents, college students, former nurses and therapists, bankers, business owners, empty nesters, retirees and more – our volunteers come from different backgrounds, but they are united by their compassionate spirits and dedication to our mission of service. Each person carries a unique set of life skills and experiences that bring warmth and kindness to our families, patients, and visitors.
