ADMINISTRATORS OF HEALTHCARE VOLUNTEERS
Whether you’re new to healthcare volunteer administration or
a seasoned professional, you’ll find it valuable to join a network of
colleagues in hospitals, clinics, long-term care and other healthcare
facilities.
Healthcare can present unique challenges in working legally,
safely, and effectively with volunteers:
- Regulatory and certification requirements (JCAHO, HIPAA,
HCFA, etc.)
- Infection control issues
- Emergency preparedness
- Special healthcare volunteer roles
Members learn together and share expertise:
- 3 lunch/education meetings each year, tailored to volunteer
management issues in a healthcare facility
- Bi-annual retreat
- Network news column in MAVA newsletter
- Informal networking opportunities
"Before I make a presentation to my Administrator about
a new program or respond to a request for new services, I check what’s being
done in similar facilities through my AHV network of friends and
colleagues."
Judy Takkunen, Hennepin County Medical Center ,
Minneapolis
"MAVA and AHV create the perfect package for all
kinds of general volunteer administration topics and programming specific to
the healthcare environment where I work."
Janice Kissner, Regions Hospital , St. Paul
