    Description

    Patient Companion volunteer needed in Salem

    Near the end of life, our patients have a hard time getting out to see friends and family. We are looking for someone to provide a loving presence to those no longer able to do the things they used to do. Your presence alone can make someone feel loved, listened to, and truly supported. This is a chance to bond with someone during a precious and often extremely difficult time in life.

    Disclaimer: We are sorry but we can not accept any court ordered community service.

    • No prior experience required. Training provided.
