The Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation along with Home Health & Hospice coordinates a large group of volunteers each year. You see their smiling faces at the Front Desk or in the Gift Shop. They willingly help patients get around the campus and show visitors how to get to the proper department. They visit homebound patients to connect and bring them meals. We couldn't provide such excellent patient care each and every day without our volunteers.
We're currently looking to add to our current volunteer roster. If you, or anybody you know, would be interested in this rewarding experience, please contact Julie S., Volunteer Coordinator at 605-882-6702 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Hours are very flexible and we welcome volunteers of any age and ability. Volunteers generally work a 4-hour shift with most areas offering a morning and afternoon shift. Volunteers may choose to work as little as one day a month or as frequently as several days per week. Orientation and training are provided until you reach a level of comfort.
Prairie Lakes offers several benefits to volunteers, including:
- Free breakfast or lunch with each 4-hour shift worked
- Annual volunteer appreciation event
- Prairie Lakes gifts
