Our volunteers are an extension of our dedicated staff that support the medical, academic, and research departments at UConn Health. We work together to uphold the values of UConn Health: excellence, teamwork, leadership, and innovation. Through these values and the help of our volunteers, we can reach out to serve and promote wellness for our community.
