Volunteers are an integral part of DMC Children’s Hospital of Michigan, and can make a tremendous impact on a child and their family during their hospital stay. Volunteers work under the supervision of the Child Life Staff and the Nursing Staff to be sure that each child's needs are met. Children need to play and maintain some sense of their normal routine to heal
and be emotionally stable. That is where volunteers can make a positive difference. Volunteers provide a wonderful gift to patients and their families by offering their time, their presence, their smile, and kind gestures that can draw a smile or
even a giggle from the child, making their day as normal and happy as possible.
What will keep you busy as a volunteer?
Playing or interacting with children in the activity centers or in their rooms
Reading to children in the various clinics and units in the hospital
Visiting children with your certified pet therapy dog
Art cart activities
