What are the best places to volunteer at for a health program?

Hello, I am back again with yet another question! I have taken all of the other responses from my last post and am currently trying to get into an internship at the hospital! However, I am looking into volunteering until then so that I won't be behind on my required checklist for my radiology program at Midlands Technical College.

I have looked into volunteering for college students around West columbia, but i just don't know the best place to go. I wanted to do the one at lexington medical center and be in the imaging area, but the slots are full until January (which is way past the deadline for my application for my program..)

I was looking at Lexington Extended Care, but I've had a few people tell me it wasn't a great place to volunteer at...

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it!

Any tips on getting a job at lexington medical or prisma??

I just graduated Highschool a few months ago and was hoping to get a job at either lexington medical or prisma to help me gain experience for my radiologic technology program I'll be doing next year for college. I don't know if its just me, but I haven't had the best of luck getting in.

I've been trying to get into the imaging assistant career, and I have all of the qualifications such as my diploma and cpr certification, as well as high academics like being in the top 15% of my class, a 4.4 GPA, and even finishing a year of college early in my senior year.

​I'm starting to lose hope, and I feel I won't be able to get all my qualifications done in time for my application for my program. If anyone has any advice or tips it would be much appreciated!

Edit- I am going to Midlands Technical College, I'm currently enrolled in the health care field so that I can do my prerequisite and so I can apply for the rad tech program. My advisor said I should get a job at one of the two hospitals I mentioned so I could get experience and so that my application looked exceptional.
