Joseph Brant Hospital Volunteer Resources

Volunteers are an integral part of our commitment to provide exemplary health care . Through partnerships with staff , volunteers help create a positive experience for patients at the hospital . We are proud to have so many dedicated volunteers who contribute more than 72,000 hours a year in over 40 areas of service .
JBH was not the same this past year without our incredible team of volunteers who make an impact on patients , staff and physicians . As volunteer safety is a top priority for us , our volunteers were asked to stay home in March 2020 . We were fortunate to bring a small team back in a redesigned role in August 2020 and again another team of 80 volunteers returned in April 2021 to support the operation of the Halton Region COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic . Volunteers and staff worked hand in hand to ensure patients coming in for immunization felt safe and had a pleasant experience from clinic entry to exit . They also assisted with providing wayfinding , parking assistance and calling to remind patients of their appointments .
Most of our fundraising this past year paused due to COVID-19 , and though the annual Antique & Collectable auction was not held in person , our committee embraced the opportunity to move the auction online and raise over $ 40,000 to support the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation .
A thank you to the many hospital volunteers who haven ’ t been able to yet return to their volunteer position . We appreciate your contributions as you continue to be an ambassador for our hospital within the community ! We are looking forward to welcoming you back to the hospital , soon .
Thank you to every volunteer who has contributed time and talent to JBH . Though you are not currently in our halls , you are never far from our minds !

Thank you to our Volunteers !
