Volunteer Opportunities
Heart to Heart
The goal of Doylestown Hospital's Heart-to-Heart volunteers is to provide a positive
transition to healing and wellness for heart patients and their family members through
reassurance, compassion and inspiration. Heart-to-Heart volunteers have all had
some past involvement with a cardiac event, and most are former heart patients.
Their mission is to help others like themselves.
Our Heart-to-Heart volunteers touch the lives of many heart patients and assist
them through what can be a difficult and emotional time. They offer individual,
non-medical support based on their personal experiences with cardiac diagnoses
and past events. Many volunteers feel that this is an opportunity to give others
the support they were given, and to express their gratitude.
All Heart-to-Heart volunteers have completed hospital orientation and have
participated in a specialized training program given by the Heart Institute.
They also attend various workshops through the year that assist them in
helping others. Because patients and their family members may feel overwhelmed
after surgery, this service provides much needed support during a very stressful time.
