Let’s Pretend Hospital
The volunteers host 2,500 first graders each spring and treat them to a simulated hospital experience. From the admissions process, through surgery, radiology, the lab, the nursery, to the business office, the children are exposed to all areas of the hospital so that their first real hospital experience is less threatening.
Scholarships
Each year the volunteers raise money through the "Rolling Store", selling newspapers and special fund raising projects to fund scholarships for nurses and allied health students. Applications are reviewed by the scholarship committee and $1,000 is awarded to each recipient.

Summer Teen Program
Students 14 years and older, who have maintained a B average and have a desire to serve the community are welcome for the summer. This program allows students to take an active role in community service, learn responsibility in a working environment and become familiar with careers in health care. They are assigned to help in many of the areas that are normally filled by the volunteers. Applications are taken during the month of April.
