    Description

    A Little Time, A Profound Impact; Patient Companions Needed in Newburyport

    Compassus Hospice is seeking compassionate individuals interested in sharing a little of their time each week to visit with a patient, providing companionship and a caring presence. Companion Volunteers spend time engaging in whatever activity the patient is interested in, from going outside for a walk, to reading, to listening to music or just chatting. You can make a difference in someone's life at the end of their life by providing such companionship. This can be a very rewarding volunteer experience. We will provide individualized training at your convenience.

    If you would like to learn more about becoming a hospice volunteer or if you're ready to share your time and talents, please call June Richardson, our Volunteer Coordinator at 978-777-8222 or email at June.richardson@compassus.com. You can make a difference in the lives of others!
