Volunteer Opportunities

Message from LRMC Auxiliary President

Our purpose is to promote and advance the welfare of Central Florida Health Alliance. We do this through service to Leesburg Regional Medical Center, its patients and visitors.

Leesburg Regional Medical Center opened in 1963 with only 37 charter auxiliary members. The numbers have been growing ever since. We now have over 260 volunteers serving 27 hospital departments, including emergency, patient care, front desk, surgery waiting room, ICU, CVICU, outpatient surgery desk, outside transport, pharmacy, gift shop, thrift shop, snack bar, and office areas.

All money raised is given back to the hospital for equipment and special needs. In 2007, the Auxiliary provided $135,000 to remodel the mammogram area. We have also given many scholarships to local students in healthcare education throughout the years.

Having so many volunteers is truly a blessing and allows us to help fill many of the hospital’s needs...most importantly, making the patients feel more comfortable during their stay. It is my hope that our presence also eases the pressure on the dedicated team members and physicians who work so hard to bring comfort to everyone. For further information on how you can lend a helping hand by volunteering, please call (352) 323-5060.
