Volunteers are needed to assist staff, patients and visitors at all three Osler hospitals: Brampton Civic Hospital, Etobicoke General Hospital and Peel Memorial Centre! If you are retired, volunteering at Osler is a great way to use your skills, experience and talents while keeping active in your community. If you are a student, volunteering is a wonderful way to see how hospitals work and learn about health care as a potential career. It's also a great way to gain workplace experience and to meet others with similar interests. If you are working but have some time during the day, volunteering is a great way to learn more about the hospital while staying in touch with your community. If you're interested, we hope you'll consider joining us. There are so many ways to help!
