Oconee Regional Medical Center Needs You!
   

Who are ORMC volunteers? They are people who donate their time, whether it be an hour, a month or something they do every day. They donate their skills and their talents to support our community hospital. They lend a hand wherever help is needed, from delivering trays or making crafts for the gift shop to volunteering their professional expertise to hospice patients.
   

Volunteers are people who make a difference because of the role they play in meeting patients' needs or providing essential services and lending support to our hospital community. Volunteers set an example for all of us ... they work for the satisfaction of helping others.
