Volunteers
Ferrell Hospital would not be the successful organization it is today without the many volunteers who have supported our endeavors. Joining the Auxiliary and becoming a volunteer are great ways to make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families, and to socialize and make new friends.

Ferrell Hospital Ambassadors

Chemo Buddies at Ferrell Hospital
Chemo Buddies at Ferrell Hospital serve as companions for chemotherapy patients during time-consuming treatments. They offer simple hospitality such as providing snacks and books, playing games, getting blankets and sharing stories like they were visiting a good friend. Chemo Buddies provide a comforting experience physically, mentally and spiritually. We believe no one should ever go through chemo alone. Four-hour shifts are available 8 AM - 5 PM Monday - Friday.
