  • Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital

    Volunteers provide a vital part of the high-quality care that Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital is known for, and help us enhance the patient experience every day. By becoming a volunteer at RWJUH, you are choosing to be part of a dynamic team who truly touches the lives of patients, families, visitors, and staff. By contributing both your time and talent, you’ll be helping others, meeting new people and learning new skills. While this is a very rewarding experience, it also requires a significant commitment--both in terms of service hours and the prerequisites that must be met as part of our process. We offer volunteer programs for both adults and teens at our New Brunswick campus.
