The Surgery Center at Holy Family offers state-of-the-art technology, innovative treatment options, and a highly trained surgical staff.  Volunteers assist patients and staff in this busy unit, including checking-in patients and escorting or transporting patients to their procedure or hospital room.  

Bring your own gifts and interests to this role!  Elements of the program may include - but are not limited to: conversation/companionship, gams/activities, and arts/crafts.  Engaging in activities aides the healing process, combats boredom, increases feelings of hope, and gives patients a sense of self-empowerment.  Some of these services are supplied by donations to Holy Family and through Providence Inland Northwest Foundation grants.  

Musicians promote a healing environment for patients, staff and visitors.  Roles vary by campus.  Holy Family, musicians offer the gift of performing arts, such as playing an instrument, or singing 1:1 with patients, to an audience or virtually.  Come share your gift of healing music.  Auditions required.
