Volunteers provide the core of our support structure. They provide support for patients and families by providing rides to and from appointments, running errands, companionship, helping with legacy work, organizing, etc.
Our volunteers are as diverse as the patients we serve: some are older, or may be retired; others are younger people who have grown a heart for this work because of having cared for ill or aged relatives.
No matter their individual backgrounds, all are committed to providing dependable, consistent support to patients and their families for a minimum of two hours a week.
All of our volunteers attend a free-of-cost weekend training, during which they receive instruction in the technical aspects of support, and the psychological and social needs of patients. They learn from our founder, chaplains, medical social workers, and health-care professionals, and the shared experience of other volunteers.
Our next training will be held in October of 2024.
