Community/Volunteer Programs
Our dedicated team of volunteers makes many of our activities and services possible. Many members of our community and staff give of their time to make the hospital experience a little less scary and a bit more fun for our patients and their families:
Caring Cuddlers
Sometimes families can't be with their child in the hospital at all times. Our volunteers rock newborns, infants and toddlers to sleep and offer big hugs for all patients.
Children's Mobile Health Center
Children in South Broward have pediatric healthcare services delivered right to their neighborhoods and schools, thanks to
the Children's Mobile Health Center. Services include physical examinations, vision and hearing screenings, immunizations and physician
referrals for children and dependents to age 21.

Fundraising
From health fairs to festivals, our volunteers help Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital bring quality healthcare and awareness to the community.
Homework Helpers
In partnership with the Broward County School Board, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital has one on-site schoolteacher to assist patients who are unable to attend school. Volunteers who have a flair for Algebra or English help our patients keep up with their homework.
Music, Dance, Cooking, and Art Programs
Dancers, singers, guitar players, cooks and artists have taken their creativity to new levels by volunteering their talents at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.
Pet-A-Pet
Some of our volunteers are a bit furrier than most! Well-trained four-legged pets and their owners help brighten the day of families at
Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.
