Interested in Volunteering at Southern NH Health?

It is important to note that volunteering is different from job shadowing, which is only available to individuals 18 or older enrolled in a related education program.  Our volunteering program does not provide individuals with clinical experience or direct patient care.  

Recognizing young people’s interest and passion for healthcare, we partnered with Workforce Development to create a new summer program for rising seniors called, “Beyond the Stethoscope: Career Pathways in a Health System.” Please contact the Community Partnerships Manager at 603-281-6639 for more information.
