Tampa General Hospital DeSoto invites you to say "hello!" to the Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers (HAVs)!
Who are the Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers (HAVs)?
The HAVs are a wonderful team of volunteers and auxilians who donate their time, skills and talents to support our community hospital in Arcadia, Florida. They lend a hand wherever help is needed. They do everything from assisting the hospital departments to making stuffed Hug-A-Bears for young patients.
Volunteers and auxilians are people who make a difference because of the role they play in meeting patients' needs or providing services and lending support to our healthcare community.

You will feel a sense of accomplishment, learn new skills, meet new people, make new friends and make an invaluable contribution to your community.
Volunteers can match their skills and interests with meaningful assignments. As part of the healthcare team, volunteers broaden and diversify staff efforts to meet the hospital's goal of providing comprehensive health care. There are many areas in which volunteer help is needed and scheduling is very flexible.

The HAVs operate the Gift Shop, and are active throughout the year with fund-raising activities, which benefit patient-care programs at the hospital.
