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, HIPPA,
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
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."

"MAVA and AHV create the perfect
package for me— all kinds of general volunteer administration
topics and programming specific to the healthcare environment
where I work."
