ORLANDO, Fla. — Two Orlando Health hospitals on Florida’s Space Coast are inviting community members to learn about new volunteer opportunities during open house events next week.

Orlando Health Melbourne Hospital will host its volunteer open house Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the OR Classroom at the hospital, located at 250 N. Wickham Road in Melbourne.

Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital will hold a second event Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the third-floor Joint Camp Room at its campus on U.S. 1 in Sebastian.

Hospital officials said the events are designed to introduce a new volunteer program focused on improving patient experience and strengthening support services inside both hospitals.

Volunteer opportunities include guest services, patient transport, surgical waiting areas, emergency department support and inpatient units.

Attendees will be able to meet hospital leaders and volunteer staff, learn about available roles and sign up for future service opportunities.

Officials said the events also offer a behind-the-scenes look at hospital operations and how volunteers help support patients and families.
