Volunteer at Broward Health

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Broward Health. Volunteers are a vital part of our hospitals, supporting patients, families and staff every day across Broward County.

Programs are available at Broward Health Medical Center, Broward Health Coral Springs, Broward Health Imperial Point and Broward Health North. Every volunteer completes an orientation before their first shift, and requirements such as age, time commitment and onboarding vary by location, so please review the hospital you're interested in below.

Please note that the volunteer program does not include shadowing physicians, nurses or other healthcare providers, and volunteers do not perform medical procedures of any kind.

Volunteering at Broward Health Coral Springs

Broward Health Coral Springs welcomes both adults and teens who want to make a positive impact in the hospital and the community. Teen volunteers must be at least 16 years old and a resident of Coral Springs or Parkland.

All volunteers wear a uniform, complete a PPD test and attend an orientation session before their first shift. They also commit to at least 100 volunteer hours, or about four hours per week over six months. Please allow approximately four weeks for the onboarding process.

Volunteering is unpaid, though volunteers receive a meal ticket for every four-hour shift completed.

To get started, call 954-344-3381 to schedule an interview or email [email protected].

Patient and Family Advisory Council at Broward Health Coral Springs

The Patient and Family Advisory Council is a different way to give time to Broward Health Coral Springs. Rather than working a shift in the hospital, council members draw on their experience as patients or family members of patients to help improve the care and experience the hospital provides.

Members give feedback on programs, communications and changes to the patient experience. Some join for a single project and others serve on an ongoing basis, depending on interest and availability. There is no minimum hour requirement.

To be considered, complete and submit the Patient and Family Advisor Application. For questions, contact Summer Marrero at 954-344-3187 or [email protected].

Volunteering at Broward Health Medical Center

Volunteers are a vital part of Broward Health Medical Center and Nicklaus Children's Hospital, providing valuable services for the hospital, its patients and their loved ones. The program is geared toward students completing school service hours and adults who want to give time back to their community.

High school student volunteers must be 15 to 17 years old, and college students, adults and auxiliary volunteers must be 18 or older. All volunteers commit to at least 100 volunteer hours, or about four hours per week. Please allow approximately two weeks for the onboarding process.

Orientation applies only to volunteers serving at the Broward Health Medical Center facility.

The next session is Monday, September 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. in the Auxiliary Office, at 1600 S. Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.

Sessions are held on an as-needed basis. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete additional paperwork and bring a photo ID for entry. Late arrivals will be rescheduled for the next available date.
