Most hospitals have an office to coordinate volunteers. If you are not from the metro-DC area, seek a hospital or clinic in your hometown and contact their office for volunteer services. A searchable national listing of volunteer opportunities is available at Volunteer Match.

This list should neither be considered comprehensive nor construed as endorsements. Any additional suggestions would be more than welcome. Many items on this list come from Volunteer Fairfax and include mostly metro-DC if they have a website. If you are a member, make appropriate changes if a weblink or website is disconnected.
