The Discharge Service volunteers are
a group of approximately 65 individuals who contribute between 3
to 20 hours each week transporting and assisting patients who are
both coming to and leaving MGH for care.
 Over
the years, this program has grown by leaps and bounds. This past fiscal year, the Discharge Service volunteers
reached an all-time high of 8,620 discharges.
In addition to working
with our patients, veteran volunteers train new Discharge and Emergency
Department volunteers on proper use of the wheelchairs and the locations
of the various buildings that make up the MGH Main Campus.
