Volunteers Needed – Help Drive Care Forward!

Transportation is one of the biggest barriers preventing patients from getting the care they need. At Highland Medical Center (HMC), we’re committed to removing that barrier by offering transportation to and from appointments—but we can’t do it alone.

We’re currently looking for compassionate, reliable volunteers to help drive our HMC transportation van. By volunteering, you’ll play a direct role in ensuring members of our community can access essential healthcare services.

Whether you have a few hours a week or can help occasionally, your time can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Requirements:
• Maintain a clean driving record
• Possess a valid driver’s license
• Provide a current Basic Life Support certification (training available at no cost)
• Complete required orientation and training

If you’re interested, please email our CEO, Janice Ellis, at Jellis@ourhmc.org
to complete an application.

Please join us in congratulating Kevin Nicely, one of HMC’s pharmacists, as our March Buttercup Award winner!

Kevin was nominated three times by team members for going above and beyond across departments. Twice, he was recognized for helping with Facilities Maintenance by replacing filters and lightbulbs, hanging magazine racks, and even building an incredible, sturdy new Sharing Shed for community use.

He was also nominated for supporting the Medical team by comparing prices for medical supplies to help HMC get the best value. Kevin’s willingness to jump in wherever he’s needed and his commitment to teamwork make a meaningful impact across our organization. Thank you, Kevin, and congratulations!
