The Sharp Experience. It is what makes Sharp different from other providers. We focus on patient centered care and that is exactly how volunteers make a difference every shift here at Sharp Metro Campus. Patient and Patient and Guest Services is responsive to priorities, preferences, and values of patients and their families.

We are actively recruiting for our Patient and Guest Relations - a program and resource that was founded during the Covid pandemic. This is a fast-paced unit that has direct contact with patient family members and various nursing units throughout the hospital.

How Volunteers Make A Difference:

  1. Greet patients & guests by utilizing Sharp keywords and/or messaging.
  2. Screen visitors based on current COVID guidelines.
  3. Provide wayfinding for all patients and family support.
  4. Deliver mail, flowers (to appropriate units), packages, newspapers, and/or various paperwork to units.
  5. Provide specific resources and amenities needed for hospital visitors.
  6. Transport units of blood.
  7. Escort patients to SPA, CV2, CATH waiting room, and other units as needed.
  8. Always maintain 6ft social distancing and follow masking protocols.
  9. Maintain patient confidentiality (HIPAA).
  10. Adhere to the 12 Behavioral Standards.
The Patient and Guest Relations is a very popular department that provides great opportunities for direct patient contact (patient defined as the person receiving care and/or their family members). And did we mention this a a fast-paced department? This department interacts with the community, patient family members and friends, as well as various nursing units throughout the hospital.

*All volunteers receive a $6 meal credit in the cafeteria during their shift.*
