Brynn Mawr Hospital Volunteer Programs

Volunteering at Bryn Mawr Hospital means being part of an energetic group of men and women who make a significant difference in the health and well-being of the community. Our volunteers are students, parents, grandparents, working professionals and retirees from all walks of life. Through the generous gift of time, talents and personal interests, our volunteers supplement the work of staff members by offering many special services so important to patients, their families and hospital staff.
At Bryn Mawr Hospital we believe each of our volunteers is special and makes a unique contribution. We host an annual recognition event to express our appreciation to our volunteers and pins are awarded for their hours of service. High school and college students who complete the volunteer experience may receive letters of reference and may also receive credits for community service work or credits for college courses.

Volunteers also receive a free beverage and free on-site parking.
