    Description

    Friendly Visitor (Patient Visitors)

    The Brooklyn Hospital Center is seeking community minded volunteers who would like to be Friendly Visitors to our patients who have been admitted to the hospital. You can be a part of the healing process. Friendly Visitors, visit with patients, walk and talk to them, read to them. All of this may seem very simple, but it can mean the world to someone who is in the hospital.

    The Brooklyn Hospital Center has been Helping Keep Brooklyn Healthy for over 175 years. We are committed to serving the Brooklyn Community and Greater New York City. We are centrally located in historic Downtown Brooklyn, NY and close to many of the major subway lines.

    Location

    On-site
    121 DeKalb Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, US
