Volunteer Opportunities
Our hospital volunteers are often the first person a patient sees when entering one of our hospitals and the last person to say good-bye. Merit Health River Oaks is fortunate to have an active, enthusiastic group of men and women who contribute to the smooth operation of our hospital on a daily basis.
Volunteers generously donate hours of their time and of their talents to provide valuable services to our patients, their family members, and our staff and physicians by assisting with patient transportation and general office duties.
To find out more about the many benefits of volunteering, please contact our Guest Services Department at (601) 936-1142.
