Volunteer
At Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, volunteers are an integral part of our health care team. Volunteers interact with patients and families, helping with wayfinding and transport. Our volunteers provide comfort to cancer and hospice patients, and hospitality to anyone who comes through the front doors of our hospital or clinic needing information or assistance.
We welcome a wide age range of volunteers, from students who are passionate about helping others to seniors who have a wealth of experience to share. Each makes unique, invaluable contributions to the experiences of our patients and staff through their service.
We welcome energetic, compassionate people who want to make a difference in others' lives by sharing their time and talent.
As part of the application process, all volunteer candidates will be asked to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
