Volunteer Programs

At Deep River & District Health, our volunteers play a vital role in creating a warm and supportive environment for our patients, residents, and care teams.

Volunteering with us is a meaningful way to give back to the community while gaining valuable experience and making a positive impact.


We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, including the following:

  • Friendly visiting
  • Recreation and activity support
  • Mealtime assistance
  • Palliative and spiritual care
  • Program support matched to your special interests or specific skills

Whether you’re looking to share your time and talents or explore a future in healthcare, our Volunteer Program provides a rewarding experience in a caring, team-based setting.

To ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in our care, all volunteers complete a formal application process. This includes a vulnerable sector check, reference check, health screening, onboarding, and a personalized assignment based on your interests and skills.
