These exciting positions entail facilitating our nursing personnel with escorting and transporting patients, running lab errands, answering phones and making charts and assisting with our Mommy and Me tea program. Starting in June 2012, Labor and Delivery Concierge positions are available. Please forward inquiries to Stacey Boyd, director of volunteer services, by calling 303-788-6560 or by sending an email.

Information Desk Ambassadors and Patient Visitation: These key volunteers are the frontline dedicated to ensuring that all patients and guests are welcomed at Swedish! As two of our most valued volunteer positions, Ambassadors also escort patients and visitors to their destination and patient visitors spend time conversing with patients who could benefit most from a visit. Exceptional customer service skills, a commitment to excellence and a desire to go over and beyond to be of assistance to our patients and visitors is a must for this position. Physical requirements: the ability to walk and stand for extended periods of time.

Our Medical Staff Office is seeking highly qualified administrative/clerical volunteer candidates to assist with multiple projects Monday through Friday. Strong computer, organizational skills and the ability to work independently are a must.
