Other Information

Languages

  • Spanish
Volunteers provide patients and their families the same kind of support a good friend would offer, such as running errands, providing a break for family caregivers, sharing information, and just listening. Also offers vigil services to individuals during the last hour of their life; volunteers stay with a patient at their bedside so that they do not have to be alone when death is imminent. This service may be at the request of the patient, a family member that needs a break, a member of the hospice team, or a family member that lives out of town and cannot be with their loved one.
