Volunteering

Customer Service and Patient Satisfaction is our goal. Friendly, smiling faces, a caring compassionate manner, and a positive, willing attitude are at the heart of VOLUNTEER SERVICE at Baptist Health Medical Center - Little Rock, Baptist Health Rehabilitation Institute and Baptist Health Medical Center - North Little Rock.

Baptist Health volunteers make a real difference, whether comforting a sick patient or giving a helping hand to hospital team members. We appreciate our many adult and teen volunteers and consider them an important part of Baptist Health.

STAR Volunteen Program

Baptist Health's Little Rock and North Little Rock campuses are working in tandem on a summer outreach program for highly motivated youth volunteers.

*Any exceptions to the requirements for the summer youth programs are at the sole discretion of the program’s volunteer coordinator.

The number of available volunteen slots is limited, so early application is recommended. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS APRIL 15. Applicants must attend a “group” interview and if selected, orientation.
