Support Tanner

At Tanner Health System, our volunteers are one of our greatest treasures. Each activity to which volunteers dedicate their time has a direct and positive impact on both our patients and community. By volunteering, you are providing not only a valuable service but giving the most precious gift you have to the community — your time.

In 2018, more than 300 volunteers donated more than 50,000 hours to help out at Tanner. Volunteers are needed for the auxiliaries on our hospital campuses in Carrollton, Villa Rica, Bremen and Wedowee — each serving the needs of its own hospital and community — as well as for Tanner Hospice Care, in Pastoral Care as a hospital chaplain and for the various healthy initiatives of Get Healthy, Live Well.

Becoming a part of the healthcare team at Tanner can make a difference in someone’s life. If you are looking for a rewarding way to spend your retirement years, feel you want to give something back to your community by helping others or want exposure as a student to the healthcare field, you have found the right place.
