Sinai Hospital has relied on the energy, expertise and kindness of its
dedicated volunteers from the start. Sinai Hospital was founded in 1866 to care for Baltimore �s Jewish
community. In 1959, the hospital moved to its current Northwest Baltimore home which has evolved into a
Jewish-sponsored health care organization providing care for all people.
Sinai
Hospital is an agency of
THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore with a mission to
provide quality patient care, teaching and research. As a teaching institution,
it is affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of
Maryland School of Medicine.
Volunteers put
forth countless hours visiting patients in nursing units, greeting patients in
admitting areas, delivering flowers, books or magazines, surveying patients
about their hospital experience, preparing educational materials, and directing
families and patients. Our volunteers are an important part of our efforts to
provide excellent patient care in a welcoming environment.
Contributing more than 50,000 service hours yearly,
Sinai
Hospital �s volunteers
include high school/college students, young adults exploring a new career, and
active senior adults serving their community. Individual internships are
available to students who are interested in health care.
When you volunteer at Sinai Hospital , you can design your own schedule
and receive perks such as discounted meals, free parking, free flu shot, free
PPD test, educational programs, an annual award luncheon and an annual
appreciation luncheon. The best rewards, however, will come from the smiles and
hugs of grateful patients, their families and Sinai staff.
