Volunteer with Lakeview Hospital
Give your time to those in need
Lakeview Hospital maintains its reputation for giving world class service and that is no small part due to its volunteers and their enthusiasm and generosity. Our volunteers are an integral part of the Lakeview family and have an important role in helping to provide the best in quality care and service.
Volunteers are needed throughout the hospital to lend a helping hand, a listening ear or offer support to those in need. Our volunteers dedicate their time, energy, skills, and knowledge to make a difference in various departments. We ask our volunteers to work a minimum of four hours a week and welcome those willing to give more. If you would like to join us please contact our volunteer manager at 985.867.4166 or complete an application online.
To ensure the safety of both our volunteers and our patients, all prospective volunteers are required to complete a hospital orientation and training session, as well as a background check.
Our Volunteer Auxiliary raises funds to support local charities. We achieve this through sales at the Duck’s Nest and various fundraisers held throughout the year.
Hear from Fran Tosh, President of the Volunteer Auxiliary
"Volunteering is something I have done throughout my life and want to continue to do. After retiring and making St. Tammany my new home several years ago I searched for fulfilling ways that I could volunteer and feel connected to the community, meet new friends, and share some of my skills."
"Lakeview Hospital stood out to me. Since my first day volunteering in the Ducks Nest Gift Shop I knew I made the right decision to be here. Not only is Lakeview a rewarding and fulfilling place to be, but also it is fun! Everyone is welcoming and respectful whether it be with a smile, a “hello” or just a friendly nod. All of us who volunteer at Lakeview are not here because we must be but because we can be! We are rewarded knowing we make a difference in our community."
