Volunteer Services at BIDMC
Volunteering at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) is an opportunity to contribute to our mission of providing compassionate, high-quality care to patients and families. As a volunteer, you become an essential part of the health care team, helping to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve. Your time, effort and kindness help make BIDMC a place of healing and hope. Whether you’re supporting patients directly, assisting in various departments or contributing to special programs, volunteering at BIDMC is a fulfilling and enriching experience.
As one of the leading hospitals in Boston, we receive a high volume of volunteer applications and inquiries. As a result, available roles are limited, and applying does not guarantee placement. We sincerely appreciate your interest in supporting BIDMC. We encourage you to explore our job openings within Beth Israel Lahey Health for additional opportunities to contribute.
Please note: Volunteer Services does not coordinate internships, unpaid research opportunities or shadowing opportunities.
