Most anywhere you go at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, volunteers are there lending a hand—assisting in registration, selling flowers and gifts for loved ones, comforting relatives in the Emergency Department (ED), and more. Ever thought about joining them?

“We’re always looking for volunteers,” says Berkeley audiologist Linda Peltz, M.A., whose self-described “labor of love” is her volunteer work as Co-Chair of the Foundation’s Celebrity Classic and Vice Chair of our Board of Trustees. “Volunteers make a difference—and they have fun, make friends, and get a new perspective on life,” adds Peltz, who was the Foundation’s 2002 Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year.
“I now have a greater picture of what’s going on in the hospital and a much better insight of where things are needed.”

If you’re interested in volunteering at the Medical Center (the gift shops at the Ashby Campus and ED especially need help), contact the Volunteer Office at (510) 204-1698. You—and we—will be glad you did.
