Volunteer Services

Located in Huntington, West Virginia, St. Mary's Medical Center and HIMG Volunteer Services is an integral part of our hospital culture.

Volunteers at St. Mary’s and HIMG are easily identified by their black jackets that say "Volunteer Services", and can be found in St. Mary's Gift Shop, surgery waiting, concierge services and on many floors throughout the medical center.

In addition to the time they donate to St. Mary's and HIMG, volunteers also raise funds for various projects at the medical center. Recently, the Auxiliary to St. Mary's provided funds for:

New transport wheelchairs
New shuttle “Courtesy Cruiser”
New 3D mammography machine
Purchase maintenance vehicle
Replacement speaking valve for laryngectomy patients
Heart pillows for new heart patients
Informational kits for new Breast Cancer patients
Blanket warmer for the oncology unit
Employee Appreciation Day for staff
Panic/security alert buttons
Phantom mannequin for St. Mary's School of Imaging

Many other donations have been made by the Auxiliary and will be used for future projects. Our volunteers are incredibly, and St. Mary’s wouldn’t be where it is today without these amazing men and women.
