About

Welcome to Madison House Health and Medical Services!
Health and Medical Services programs connect students with volunteer partners at UVA Health System, Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital, Charlottesville Free Clinic, Recreational Therapy sites, HELP Line, hospice locations, care facilities, and more. Sign-ups for Medical Services placements during the academic year occur during the fall semester. Students commit to a full academic year of service with their volunteer placement.
To hear more about each program, please attend our in-person Information Session on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 from 6-8pm in the Newcomb Hall Theater.
To request a placement with one of Madison House Health and Medical Services programs, you must complete the following steps:
  1. Create a Give Pulse account for the 2026-2027 academic year and complete the volunteer commitment form. (Returning volunteers, if you already have a GivePulse profile, you can go straight to the volunteer commitment form.)

  2. If you are interested in volunteering in a hospital, hospice, or clinic, visit the Madison House website for additional placement information. There are mandatory information sessions, as well as a special sign-up process, for those placements.

  3. Complete a placement request form. September 4, 2026, is the priority placement request deadline, and September 11, 2026, is the general request deadline. You will hear back from student program leaders within a week of the submission deadlines regarding your placement status.
