Duke Regional Hospital

As the situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to rapidly evolve, Duke University Health System is working diligently to monitor developments and implement guidelines to prevent the spread of infection. Our top priority is to keep patients, visitors, team members, and the community at large safe. At this time, all hospital volunteer programs are suspended until further notice. We will keep you updated about the status of our volunteer program, and we look forward to welcoming you back to our hospitals in this important capacity as soon as possible.

Duke Regional Hospital offers volunteer opportunities in direct and non-direct patient care areas. Whether you are interested in welcoming visitors at the Information Desk, assisting in a patient care area or assisting with clerical work, Volunteer Services has a place for you. Volunteer Services will work with you to ensure your assignment matches your skills, interest, and time commitment.

A criminal background check and clearance by Duke Regional Employee Health will also be required to volunteer. Please be prepared to furnish copies of your immunization records, and submit to a TB screening and flu vaccination if you have not received the vaccination this season. Employee Health will provide these free of charge.

You will also need to attend an orientation and complete safety and compliance training.

We are proud of our dedicated family of volunteers at Duke Regional. We couldn't provide the quality of services we do without the help of our volunteers. To learn more about our volunteer program, call the department of Volunteer Services at 919-470-4150.
