Prairie North Health Region volunteers enhance the service delivery and provide an important link between clients and their community.  Volunteer contribute their unique talents, skills and knowledge of our community to provide personalized attention to clients, which contributes to our quality of life and community.

Our Volunteer Services Coordinators provide a supported program, beginning with an interview to match your interests, skills and time commitment; you will be supported through orientation, learning experiences, appreciation events and recognition.

Your time is valuable and we appreciate that!  We will help you choose the volunteer experience that is right for you…you can be involved in your own home, perhaps a telephone support to someone in the community, you can take an hour and deliver Meals On Wheels, you can become a “Friendly Visitor” to someone who because they don’t have families in this community are in need of that socialization, you can volunteer at the hospital as a Greeter, or helping out on the Units.   We have volunteers assisting at Wellness and Flu Clinics and at our STRIDES for Better Health.  

In Long-term care homes our volunteers share their time helping with Recreation, Auxiliary activities, or performing.  

We have volunteers specifically trained as mentors with our Parent Mentoring Program, and as Peer Leaders in LIVE WELL with Chronic Conditions & Pain, Self-Management sessions.  Volunteers are also trained in Palliative Care and our newest program which will be the Peer Navigation Volunteer Program.  Our Faith Community Volunteers are supported in visiting their members and in leading services.

All ages volunteer, and for all sorts of reasons.  Although there are many benefits, all desired to give back to their community and with this desire comes the well-being both for the volunteer and those we help.   Individuals will gain insight and references for employment, scholarships, education programs and careers.  Involvement will lead to learning new skills, sharing interests; increase your well-being and socialization as well as an opportunity to access workshops, resource materials and health promotion activities through your volunteering experience.

Each April our community leaders, Prairie North Health Region Board & Management, and volunteers come together for an evening of celebrations and entertainment!  Together we bring awareness of the valuable human resource workforce who contribute time, wealth and skills to enhance health services and community volunteerism.
