Volunteer Ambassadors
Volunteer Ambassadors are compassionate individuals who join a movement of giving back that began at White Memorial in 1918 and with the Beverly Guild in 1952.
Whether you’re a former patient who wants to give back, a family member of a patient who is grateful for excellent care your loved one received, or someone who is looking for a new way to care for your community, volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, form new friendships and enrich lives — including your own.
Join us as an ambassador and become an integral part of ensuring comprehensive care for all.
