REGINA — The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) volunteer services team is looking for volunteers to assist staff, patients, clients, families and visitors in its acute care facilities, long-term care homes and community programs.
Support care in your community by volunteering to help host recreational and pet support programs, assist patients navigating through acute care settings, or support local Meals on Wheels programs, the SHA urges.
“Prior to the pandemic, the SHA had a strong volunteer base,” said Bernie Doepker, SHA’s director of Volunteer Services. “As with every sector, we are in the rebuilding phase for our volunteer team. We are asking people to consider volunteering with one of our programs across the SHA as we work together to improve health and well-being, every day, for everyone.”
The SHA is recruiting volunteers provincially and has a range of different positions available. Volunteer shifts typically range from two to four hours, and most programs require volunteers to come in a minimum of two times per month. Interested volunteers are encouraged to match available volunteer positions to their skills, interests, experiences, and availability.
