Get Involved

Patient and Family Resource Center volunteers are dedicated individuals who recognize the need to help others during this difficult time. Many volunteers are cancer survivors, caregivers, and friends or family members of cancer patients. These special individuals have a unique perspective on the cancer experience and provide our patients with valuable information, resources and support.

All volunteer candidates are interviewed and given extensive training to work in the Patient and Family Resource Center.

If you are interested in volunteering with us, please contact our Volunteer Services or call 619-543-6370 for more information.
