Are you a compassionate individual who cares about health? You can help today!
Health Buddies encourage better health through social connection!
Health Buddies engages compassionate, trained volunteers to provide encouragement, education, and support to individuals living with chronic conditions. Through regular telephone reassurance, we are improving the health of individuals who need it most.
We empower people living with chronic conditions to enhance their quality of life, lower stress and anxiety, self-manage their health, live independently, reduce loneliness, and connect to community resources.
Health Buddies Volunteers commit to calling their "buddy" on a regular schedule, engage in meaningful conversation about their well-being, listen for "red flags" that may need to be addressed, and connect them to additional community resources!
All volunteers complete a background check and receive training from Seniors in Service. This is a virtual volunteer opportunity completed through phone calls.
