    • Prepare notification letters and cards to physicians' offices following a patient's passing
    • Assist with bereavement mailings and special remembrance projects
    • Help ensure families and healthcare partners feel valued and remembered during difficult times

    This opportunity is perfect for individuals who:

    • Enjoy writing cards and letters
    • Have strong attention to detail
    • Possess compassion and empathy for others
    • Prefer a flexible, office-based volunteer role
    • Want to make a meaningful impact behind the scenes

    No medical experience is required. Training and ongoing support will be provided.

    A few minutes spent writing a heartfelt message can provide comfort that lasts a lifetime.
