Your gift of time can change a life.

Sharp Grossmont volunteers have been making a difference in East County since 1952. As one of the largest and most active hospital volunteer programs in California, more than 780 adult and student volunteers contribute more than 109,000 hours of service to our hospital and community each year.

Many ways to make a difference.

• Assisting staff on patient floors and intensive care units
• Greeting and escorting patients and visitors
• Helping raise funds to support hospital programs
