Adult Volunteers

Important information

The Medical City McKinney Volunteer Auxiliary is now accepting adult volunteer applications. Adults 18 and older who are seeking new adventures and want to assist in the community are encouraged to apply. College students wishing to volunteer must commit to six consecutive months of volunteering.

All volunteers must commit to four hours a week for six consecutive months, be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (and submit a copy of their CDC vaccination card), complete an online application form and attend an interview. Summer-only volunteering for college students or those seeking community service hours is unavailable at this time.

Thank you for your interest in serving at Medical City McKinney.

Thank you for your interest in the volunteer program at Medical City McKinney. Members of the Auxiliary:

  • Volunteer time to help patients, visitors and hospital staff
  • Raise funds through the Gift Shop
  • Raise funds through other fundraisers held throughout the year to purchase non-budgeted items for the hospital

Each year, the Auxiliary also offers a minimum of six scholarships to high school seniors interested in a career in the medical field., as well as makes donations to the Samaritan Inn, Community Food Pantry of McKinney, Serenity High School, McNeil Elementary School, and other charitable organizations.

Can you think of a better way to give back to the community in which you live and work? If you have a minimum of four hours a week to share, we encourage you to take the first step to join our wonderful family of volunteers.

What’s in it for you?
