Weston Hospital

Volunteering is a unique opportunity to serve others while learning new skills and making new friends. Volunteers come from all walks of life, but they have certain things in common: the desire to do something meaningful or to give their time to those who are in need. It is through the generosity of our team of volunteers that Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital is able to provide additional services to our patients, families, visitors, staff and community.

We are always looking for fun, dedicated and friendly individuals to join our family of volunteers. Our Volunteer Services Department takes great care to match a volunteers interest and skills to a specific assignment. In most cases, we ask our volunteers to contribute a minimum of four consecutive hours per week on a regular scheduled basis for a minimum of 140 service hours. On this page you will find everything you need to know about the volunteer opportunities at Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital.
