BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Approval of the MOU will allow Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) to receive volunteers from the City’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (Program). The volunteers will be performing duties during ARMC’s volunteer day shifts, which are currently understaffed, as many potential volunteers work or are in school during those hours. The volunteers from the Program will perform many duties including but not limited to, assisting staff with answering phones, assembling charts, assisting distribution of dietary meal trays, retrieving, distributing, and storing supplies/forms, and escorting patients via wheelchair upon release. The collaboration with the City’s Program will ensure the continued success of ARMC’s volunteer program.
