    Read to Patients

    Do you love reading aloud and sharing stories? Compassus Hospice is seeking volunteers to bring comfort and companionship to patients by reading books, poetry, letters, or even the daily newspaper. Your voice can spark memories, ease loneliness, and create meaningful connection for patients at the end of life.

    No professional skills are needed - just your time, patience, and love of reading. Even a short visit with a good story can make a lasting impact.
