    At  UH Portage (community hospital that is part of University Hospitals system), we have two full-time staff- one Manager of Volunteer Services and Community Relations, one Coordinator.  We manage 300+ volunteers, an active Auxiliary, Gift Shop, Spiritual Care and an active pet therapy program, along with all observational learning (almost 150 requests so far in 2025) and most internship experiences.  We do engage 3 strong volunteers in our own department to help with busy office tasks.

    At UH Cleveland Medical Center we have recently lost a couple of positions.   We currently have a director, three coordinators, an office coordinator and a part time administrative assistant.  We had a full time pet pals coordinator but her position has been moved to the system and the manager position was eliminated in January when I retired and the manager, Carol Passerell, was promoted to director.  Additionally our gift shop manager recently retired and his position is not going to be filled.  We had previously hired a coordinator for the gift shops and she will be managing both of our stores.  We have 5 hospitals on our campus - including a children's hospital and a cancer hospital. The VSD also has responsibility for processing student observers and as an academic medical center, we have many!  We typically have 1,000+ volunteers each year.

    We have a total of two staff in Volunteer Services - myself (Operations Manager) and one direct report (Supervisor). We cover four acute care hospitals, a surgical hospital, and several standalone locations - ED, Fitness Center, etc.

    Hello Cindy, 

    We currently have 7 staff members for volunteer services at The Wexner Medical Center and are currently running about 760 active volunteers and working on growing with a new hospital tower opening. I hope you can get another staff member, because that will be so great for recruiting and retention! 

    Rooting for you, 

    Rachael

    I have a Secretary who works 26 hours per week at St. Anne and a Gift Shop Coordinator at St. Charles who works 24 hours per week.  I am working with HR to get her title changed to Admin Coordinator as she also helps with the Volunteer Dept.

    Hello -

    We are looking at getting a 2nd employee in our Volunteer Services office.  Are there other hospitals that have more than one employee in Volunteer Services?  I would appreciate your input.  Thank you.
