About Volunteering at BIDMC


Thank you for your interest in volunteering at BIDMC! Our volunteers are essential members of our community. We are grateful for the contributions they make to BIDMC's mission, providing extraordinary care where the patient comes first. We presently have a diverse, trained group of more than 250 individuals who selflessly commit thousands of hours each year to support BIDMC staff, patients and families.

As one of the leading hospitals in Boston, we receive a high volume of volunteer applications and inquiries. As a result, available roles are limited, and applying does not guarantee placement. We sincerely appreciate your interest in supporting BIDMC. We encourage you to explore job openings within Beth Israel Lahey Health for additional opportunities to contribute.

Please note that Volunteer Services does not coordinate internships, research positions, or shadowing opportunities.
