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.”
Judy Takkunen
Hennepin County Medical
Center, Minneapolis
“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.”
