Volunteering at Mayo Clinic in Arizona

Volunteers serve patients with a personal touch

Volunteers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona serve patients and visitors with a personal touch. As a Mayo Clinic volunteer, your work will help patients feel more comfortable, assist Mayo staff members in carrying out their patient care mission, and become a source of pride and enjoyment. Like everyone at Mayo Clinic, we have a primary concern for patients' well-being, comfort and security.
