RWJ University Hospital Rahway is a community hospital in Union County. More than 160 adult and youth volunteers serve there and give about 28,000 hours each year. Junior volunteers support patients, families and staff in non-clinical ways, so most of the work is helping people get where they need to go and keeping records in order. Assignments are matched to a volunteer's skills and availability.
