About Volunteers

Volunteers are the heartbeat of California’s hospitals, working tirelessly to help hospitals run smoothly — staffing gift shops, answering phones, working together with staff, and more. The California Volunteer Leadership Network connects volunteer leaders, administrators, and other community representatives throughout the state. Together, network members help shape policies and standards for volunteer activities in hospitals and health systems.
