There are many volunteer opportunities available through the Volunteer
Office at University of Kentucky's Children's Hospital. These include
working directly with pediatric patients from babies thru teens
with many different diagnoses. The Child
Life Specialist coordinates
the volunteers and matches them with patients according to what
they are able to do at that time during their hospital stay. The
volunteers read to the patients, take them to the playroom, play
games at the bedside, and even walk or ride them around the hall.
Also, the computer room and children's library are available for
the volunteers to play and work with the patients. These activities
not only offer a diversion for the patients but a break for their
parents or family to get away for an hour or so. Thus, the volunteers
are very important to the patients and families in the Children's
Hospital with enhancing their experience. To volunteer, please contact the Volunteer Office at University of Kentucky Hospital at (859) 323-6023 for further information. Opportunities are open to adults, college students, and teens (ages 14-17,summer only). There are also volunteer opportunities to work with the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Office, the fund raising arm of the Children's Hospital. Those who wish to participate in fund raising activities may contact the CMN office at (859) 257-1121. Check out our giving opportunities section. |
