Volunteer Services

The mission of the DDPC Volunteer Office is to enlist and utilize the volunteer resources of the community in the overall effort to enrich and brighten the lives of patients, by offering those services which are not within the scope of staff duties as restricted by time and/or resources. A volunteer is under the direction of the Volunteer Department and is oriented and trained to give direct or indirect services to the patient.  Also through this Department, a licensed cosmetologist provides services in the Hair Salon to all patients.

The Hepatica Hill Gift Shop is managed by the Volunteer Office. Located in the main lobby, the gift shop provides an enjoyable and convenience shopping resource for patients, staff and visitors.

Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to, gift shop attendant, boutique attendant, musicians, friendly visitor.
