As Northern Health proudly opens the doors to the new hospital in Terrace, we are thrilled to welcome volunteers who will help guide and support the public. Volunteer greeters are stationed at the entrance doors of the new state-of-the-art Ksyen Regional Hospital, ready to welcome people and help them find their way. Where’s the lab? Where do you go for your ultrasound appointment? What floor is the Birthing Unit on? Our volunteers help by answering questions like these, and more!

Justin DeMedeiros, the manager of this exciting program, says, “This volunteer program will support and strengthen the services we provide our patients and visitors.”

New volunteer Akash has already become a familiar face in the lobby, answering questions, helping people find their way, and creating a friendly space.

“By giving back to the community, we strengthen the bonds that hold us together and help address the challenges we face as a society,” says Akash. “Volunteering is a chance to use my time and skills to help others.”

Are you a friendly and outgoing individual with a passion for helping others? We're delighted to announce that we are recruiting more volunteer greeters. By joining our team, you'll have the opportunity to brighten someone's day and provide comfort and support to patients and their families during challenging times.

If you're ready to make a meaningful difference at Ksyen Regional Hospital in Terrace, we invite you to apply as a volunteer greeter. Together, we can create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

“By volunteering with Northern Health, you can gain valuable knowledge and skills, and be part of a team to help Terrace and area residents,” says Carly de Medeiros, Volunteer Resources Engagement Lead for the Northwest. “I'm located in Terrace and am happy to discuss volunteer opportunities in the Northwest or answer any questions.”
