Sometimes our residents cannot move out into the community, so we bring the community to them. Caring for community residents means meeting all of their needs: medical, psychological and social. Our dedicated volunteers help meet these social needs.

Members of various community organizations donate their time to provide visits and activities for residents. In any given week, volunteers may stop by to provide entertainment, help with Bingo games, holiday parties, baking, reading groups or Bible study. Many volunteers help by visiting with residents, reading to them, writing correspondence, playing games, or simply sitting and talking.

If you are interested in volunteering at the Houghton County Medical Care Facility, please contact Chris Lehto (clehto@houghtonmcf.com or call 482-5050).
