Our Community Health Programs

Hospital Volunteer Program

Research shows that helping others is the best way to help yourself. Volunteering provides numerous health benefits, such as lowering your blood pressure, strengthening your immune system, and reducing your risk for depression. We are always seeking new volunteers at UAB Medical West.

Volunteering with UAB Medical West is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to do something meaningful with their day. It would also be great for young people interested in the medical field. You’ll be surrounded by kind, knowledgeable individuals who will help you get the most out of your hospital volunteering experience.

For more information on getting involved, call (205) 481-8502..

TOUCH Support Group

“TOUCH” stands for “Today Our Understanding of Cancer is Hope.” It’s undeniable that cancer can wreak havoc on an individual and their family. It can be a scary and stressful time. You may not know where to turn. That’s why we created a support group for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their families. Support groups create a community and offer support and advice about handling stress and significant milestones.

The TOUCH cancer support group is conducted by a Chaplain and meets on the first Friday of each month at noon in Professional Office Building One of UAB Medical West near the cafeteria. A complimentary meal is provided for those who attend.

For more information or to register to attend, please call the Chaplain’s Office at (205) 481-7359.

Grief Support Group

Coping with the death of a loved one is a journey—not an event. To help along this journey, UAB Medical West offers a Grief Support Group that provides information and caring encouragement. Dealing with loss is a unique experience for everyone. Grief groups provide a judgment-free environment to explore your emotions and your healing process.

The group is facilitated by a Chaplain and meets weekly on Monday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m. in Professional Office Building One of UAB Medical West near the cafeteria. A complimentary meal is provided for those who attend.

For more information on getting involved, call (205) 481-7359.
