Since East Jefferson General Hospital opened its doors in 1971, volunteers have played a vital role in caring for our community. Today, our dedicated volunteers continue to give their time, energy and talents to almost every department in the hospital.

Volunteer opportunities exist in our business offices, nursing units, information desks and other areas. No matter what your interests and abilities are, we have a place for you as an East Jefferson General Hospital volunteer.
