Volunteer with Health PEI

Volunteers help build strong communities

Volunteers complement the care provided by professional staff. Every day volunteers across Prince Edward Island contribute to the well-being and comfort of patients, clients and residents.

Why should I become a volunteer?

You can volunteer with Health PEI to: 

• make a positive difference in someone’s life
• network/make connections with other volunteers and health care professionals
• obtain experience for future employment or educational plans
• build new skills and help strengthen the community
• learn more about the health care system
