Who volunteers at KSB?

People like you!

Many people find that volunteering at KSB is a great way to meet new people and help others at the same time. Some volunteers are teenagers, 14 and older, interested in a health care career. Others are retirees looking for a way to give back to the community. Volunteers assist people in many different departments.

As a volunteer, you put in only as much time as you can spare. Some volunteers work one or two times a week, others work once or twice a month. We’ll work with you as much as possible to coordinate the time and department in which you choose to volunteer. For an appointment and more information on volunteer opportunities at KSB, call 285-5524.

Each volunteer is expected to uphold the philosophy and standards of the hospital. You must be in agreement with the objectives of KSB Hospital and support the goals of the volunteer services department and the hospital. When you volunteer at KSB, confidentiality is of utmost importance.

KSB Auxillary 

The KSB Auxiliary is a dedicated group of individuals who volunteer in various capacities to assist patients and employees. The Auxiliary helps make KSB Hospital a leader in patient service and commitment to the community.

The primary goal of the Auxiliary is to support the mission of KSB Hospital by raising funds for donation to the hospital. Recently, the Auxiliary donated $10,000 towards improvements in the KSB Pediatrics Department, $3,000 for scholarships to Sauk Valley Community College, and $7,000 to purchase five automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for the hospital and clinics.

The Auxiliary has a long record of successful fundraisers and meaningful contributions to the hospital and clinics. If you would like to join this important organization—whether you can donate a small or large amount of time—contact Sandy Thompson at 815-285-5524 for more information.
