Volunteering at UAMS Medical Center

Volunteer COVID-19 Restrictions in Place

At this time, only currently active volunteers are allowed on campus and in very limited service areas. All those interested in applying for a Volunteer Placement on campus are encouraged to check back at a later time. You may volunteer through one of our off-site Community Partnership Programs.

Volunteers play an important and intricate role in the life of the UAMS campus. In all capacities, volunteers have made the commitment to give their time and care in order to make the hospital community seem more friendly and inviting. This important commitment helps to enrich patients, their families and the UAMS experience as a whole.

Additionally, volunteers are rewarded by the relationships they have the opportunity to foster with patients, faculty, staff and fellow volunteers. By giving their time, volunteers receive valuable leadership skills, patient care skills and various other abilities paramount in the life of health care.
