Service Organizations

With a long history of service excellence, the Houston Methodist Hospital Auxiliary and the Houston Methodist Hospital Service Corps provide unique volunteer opportunities – from assisting patient visitors to raising funds to support the hospital.

 

Pictured below are members of the Service Corps.

Service Corps Areas of Services
Founded in 1947, members of the Service Corps provide a valuable contribution to the hospital by supporting patients, their families, visitors, and employees in a variety of service areas:

• Patient and employee satisfaction rounds
• Book carts
• Information desks
• Family waiting rooms
• Library duties

The letters MHSC of the insignia worn on the uniforms signify for the members a deeper meaning: Ministering, Helping, Serving, Caring. The qualifications considered essential for members are a sincere desire to serve others, a cooperative spirit, adaptability, friendliness, a gracious manner and dependability.
