Volunteer Services

Our generous volunteers are a key part of our mission to advance health care in our community. Adult men and women give thousands of hours assisting patients, their families, and staff members and help in nearly all Duke Health Lake Norman Hospital departments.

While we work with new volunteers to help you find the most fulfilling opportunity, we also work hard to ensure the position uses your talents and fits your schedule. In addition to donating their time, volunteers raise funds for hospital projects. In past years, our volunteers have donated new furniture for the chapel, wheelchairs, a resuscitation mannequin, and an activity table for young visitors.

Hospital Volunteers
Dedicated volunteers are involved throughout Duke Health Lake Norman Hospital, including the gift shop, information desks, cafeteria, and hospital administration. Volunteer positions are available in morning, afternoon, and evening shifts on weekdays and weekends.

Departmental Volunteers
Departmental volunteers provide direct non-medical patient care and family and staff support in areas such as medical/surgical and the emergency department. Whether transporting patients or serving complimentary beverages and pastries to family members waiting with patients, the volunteers are a helpful, caring resource that helps everyone at Duke Health Lake Norman feel at home.

Adult volunteers must download and complete a volunteer application (PDF 3.3 MB) with two verifiable references and email as an attachment to Mitzie McCurdy at mitzie.mccurdy@duke.edu.

Each applicant must interview with the auxiliary president or president-elect before a position is assigned.
