Doctors Medical Center is proud to offer volunteer opportunities to local high school students who are looking to gain real life experience in a hospital setting, and for those who want to make a difference in people’s lives

At a recent ceremony, the Service League volunteer program at Doctors Medical Center awarded 18 junior volunteers at the hospital with scholarships totaling $24,000, which will go towards their college education.

The following recipients received scholarships: Dalsin Alves, Matios Anioel, Harmenjit Bahia, Terijo Benavidez, Gabrielle Chan, Ryan Choeb, Isabell Lal, Shivam Patel, Rahul Walia, Rohin Walia, Kaitlynn Tran, Jennifer G. Ochoa, Iris Liang, Alyssa Ortega, Jenny Nguyen, Emma Kiely, Emma Touitou and Anisha Thomas.

The Service League also awarded $16,000 to Modesto Junior College and $16,000 to Stanislaus State for their nursing programs. Funds for the scholarship programs at Doctors Medical Center come from profits earned in the volunteer-run hospital gift shop and other fundraisers.

The junior volunteer program requires students maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and commit to one year of volunteering at the hospital. The application process for the junior volunteer program will reopen in October. DMC accepts adult volunteers throughout the year.

Volunteers at Doctors Medical Center are a vital part of the hospital, providing a great resource for patients, families, visitors and employees.
