Palisades Medical Center is the perfect place for local high school students to volunteer thanks to our flexible scheduling and summer volunteer opportunities. By volunteering, students can make their college applications stand out from the rest by building on their resume of activities. Local students also fulfill their high school community service requirements by volunteering at Palisades."Since I was a young boy, I always wanted to be a surgeon. My volunteer service at Palisades gave me my first real-world experience in a hospital setting. I learned how to organize surgical instruments and delivered them to the O.R. surgeons. I am now even more inspired to begin my college pre-med studies."
