Volunteers

Volunteers are an added value within our hospital, complementing the service provided by our staff.

The volunteers offer a wide range of services, such as helping out at reception, reading to children at the paediatric ward, library work, counselling palliative patients, volunteers from the pastoral service, etc.

To this end, the Jan Yperman Hospital works closely with volunteer associations such as Present (Caritas), Red Cross, VLK and MS-Liga to ensure proper support. All our volunteers make time for a chat and give extra attention and warmth to patients who need it. You can recognise the volunteers by their badges.

Will you be our new volunteer?

If you are interested in working as a volunteer in the Jan Yperman Hospital, you can contact Chantal Catteeuw, coordinator of volunteer work. Call 057 35 70 43.

What do they say themselves?

volunteer reception

When my husband passed away, I wanted to give something back for the warm care he received here. I never had the opportunity to become a nurse, but as a volunteer I can also help people: a comforting word, showing someone the way, a short conversation... It may seem small, but it often means a lot. I can recommend it to everyone!
