Volunteer Ambassador Program

Choosing to be a volunteer ambassador at Mercy Medical Center-Sioux City can be a rewarding experience. As a volunteer ambassador, you are an integral part of Mercy’s professional team. Time and energy are donated to improving life for patients, families and visitors.

Whether it’s transporting a patient from one area to another, greeting visitors or working “behind the scenes” in our business offices, you can be assured your time will be well spent.

Why volunteer?
Volunteering provides you with the opportunity to use your current skills or gain new ones in areas of interest to you. You also have the opportunity to make a difference in your life and the lives of patients, visitors and staff. Giving to others feels good and promotes the spirit of caring.

What do volunteer ambassadors do?
Volunteer ambassadors fulfill many important responsibilities.

We strive to make assignments that balance the needs of the hospital with your areas of interest. Understanding the need for flexible scheduling, volunteer ambassadors are assigned during the day, evening or weekend.

What are the advantages?
In addition to that feeling of knowing you make a difference, we offer a variety of rewards for volunteering.

Who can be a volunteer ambassador?
Volunteer ambassadors come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but share a common desire to help others and their community. Student volunteers are teenagers 13 to 18. Guest relations ambassadors include retirees, former hospital patients or employees, homemakers, husband and wife teams or anyone else!
