"Volunteer activities help to improve self-confidence, self-esteem, reduce blood pressure, improve immune functions and studies have shown volunteers live longer lives than non-volunteers."        American Red Cross, Southern Maryland Chapter, 2/2009 Newsletter.

There's never been a more exciting time to volunteer at Exempla Lutheran Medical Center (ELMC). Volunteers are a part of a team dedicated to exceeding the expectations of our patients, employees and physicians. ELMC offers widely diverse and rewarding volunteer opportunities.

When you join the Lutheran Volunteer Program, you become a part of one of Colorado's largest and most progressive volunteer networks. Lutheran volunteers are 700 strong and range in age from 14 to 92. And every year, volunteers give over 95,000 hours of service to Lutheran Hospital and other Exempla sites. Plus through fundraising they donate more than $200,000 annually to support the hospital.
