Special Notice

Thank you for your interest in volunteer opportunities at Overlake. We have temporarily suspended our volunteer program due to COVID-19. If you would like to support Overlake Medical Center & Clinics, please connect with our Foundation. Thank you for thinking of us during this time.


Welcome and thank you for your interest in volunteering at Overlake. Volunteers are a vital part of the patient and family-centered healthcare experience supporting our mission to provide compassionate care to every life we touch. Each day, our volunteers can be seen throughout the hospital, helping patients, their families and guests. 

Volunteering at Overlake offers a unique opportunity rarely found in other healthcare facilities. Volunteers provide support in a variety of settings. They are often the first and last contact for our patients, their families and visitors. Volunteer support includes greeting visitors at our information desks, working with patients in medical units, emergency services, surgery recovery, healing arts and administrative departments.

Volunteer Benefits

As valued and respected members of the Overlake team, we offer generous benefits for our volunteers including:

  • Annual volunteer recognition celebration.
  • Free beverage and meal on volunteer day.
  • Free parking 24/7.
  • Free medical screening and annual flu shot.
  • Annual holiday celebration.
  • Reference for employment or service hours (at discretion of department).
  • Reference for college application and service hours.

Volunteer Testimonials

  • “Overlake has provided outstanding care for me and my family. I want to show my appreciation by volunteering.” 
  • “At age 86, feeling useful is quite important. I get an abundance of that at Overlake.”
  • “I have a great dog; she brings smiles and companionship to patients through Pet Therapy.”
  • “I could not get into nursing school even though I had a 4.0 GPA because I had never been in the hospital setting, so I started volunteering on the Medical Surgical floor and I have been accepted to Seattle University and chosen an area of interest because of my experience at Overlake.”
