Volunteer Opportunities

Change a Life Today

Sharp Coronado Healing Cart 

The Sharp Coronado Hospital Auxiliary began in 1958 and has grown to more than 200 members, offering volunteer opportunities to men and women of all skill levels. Volunteers lend a hand in different areas of the hospital, from working at the reception desk and supporting pharmacy and nursing staff to raising money for the hospital by operating the gift and thrift shops. Fundraising events, including book fairs and patio sales, are also scheduled throughout the year. The auxiliary welcomes new members, age 18 and older, and offers a variety of ways to contribute service as well as meet others in the community while benefiting Sharp Coronado Hospital.
