Have you ever thought about the role that a volunteer plays in patient care at Monongahela Valley Hospital? There are many dedicated men and women who indirectly assist the hospital staff in maintaining patient needs.

Monongahela Valley Hospital is a facility that is rooted in tradition, innovation and community care dating back to 1902 for Charleroi-Monessen Hospital and 1909 for Memorial Hospital of Monongahela.

Established in 1972 from the consolidation of those two hospitals and opened in 1978, Monongahela Valley Hospital is a 224-bed acute care facility in Carroll Township of the mid-Monongahela Valley.

Today, MVH offers more than 200 physicians representing more than 40 medical specialties. Its mission is to enhance the health of the residents of the mid-Monongahela Valley area by providing care and services to all who are in need.

Monongahela Valley Hospital has one of the oldest organized hospital volunteer programs in western Pennsylvania.

Energetic volunteers of all ages and skills are needed. There are a variety of volunteer roles that are designed to fit the time schedules, abilities and interests of any individual who is willing to become involved in community service. One such program is the “Ask Me!” Greeter Program.

The program is managed by Concierge Manager Erin Sinko. “We have a wonderful team of volunteers. The feedback we have received from patients, visitors and staff tells us that the Greeters and other volunteers in this group have enhanced the services which we provide. On any given day, you will find Greeters welcoming visitors to the hospital, delivering cards and flowers, and escorting patients and visitors throughout the facility. The positive interactions and attitudes of this group decreases patient stress and anxiety and is a delightful approach to meeting some of the patient’s emotional needs.”

When considering volunteer opportunities, ask yourself the following questions: Would I like to meet new people? Do I have a talent or interest to share with others? Am I willing to explore new opportunities for personal growth and explore new areas of interest? Am I willing to try to make a difference in someone else’s life when they are in need of a friendly face or listening ear? If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider making a call to ask for information about becoming a volunteer at Monongahela Valley Hospital.

To find out more, please call Mrs. Erin Sinko, Concierge at 724-258-1444.
