Although Munson Medical Center is located past county lines in the neighboring Grand Traverse County, its robust volunteer program attracts many Leelanau County residents who are eager to help patients and their friends and families.
Tiffany Likar, volunteer services and patient experience manager at Munson Healthcare, said that there are three primary volunteer opportunities at the Traverse City hospital: ambassadors, emergency department volunteers, and hospitality volunteers at Munson Manor.
Likar said that volunteering at Munson Healthcare is not physically demanding, with the most difficult task being pushing someone in a wheelchair in some — but not all — roles. She said that most volunteers work four-hour shifts during the day once a week. This means that just about anyone can volunteer at the hospital if they have the time and willingness.
