Volunteering at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital

Volunteers are valuable and essential members of the UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital community. They serve as Magee “ambassadors” and play a vital role in supporting and lightening the lives of patients, visitors, and staff.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Magee. You’ll join many of other men and women who are involved in almost every area of our hospital’s daily operations.

Giving your time at Magee offers many chances to create meaningful moments in the lives of our patients, family members, and guests.
