ICU Bridge Program

The ICU Bridge Program  provides university students with the opportunity to volunteer and shadow in the ICU. Not only does this help visitors in these vulnerable times, but the experiences gained by our volunteers will help shape our future healthcare practitioners.

Volunteers are at the hospital for 4 hours a week (see Eligibility  for more details) and are paired to ensure someone is always available to help at the front desk. At each shift, a team of 2 volunteers work together to provide support to the family members who often feel overwhelmed. In addition to volunteering, partners may discuss and take turns to shadow for 1 hour each.
