    Description

    We are currently seeking Patient Support Volunteers in the Perry County area to provide companionship and comfort to our patients.

    As a volunteer, you can brighten someone's day by:

    • Reading books or sharing stories
    • Playing music or singing favorite songs
    • Assisting with writing letters or cards
    • Playing games and engaging in activities
    • Simply being a caring presence and listening ear

    Sometimes the greatest gift you can give is your time. A friendly visit can bring comfort, reduce loneliness, and create lasting memories for patients and their families.

    Volunteering with us is more than giving back to the community. It is an opportunity to build meaningful connections, touch lives, and experience the joy that comes from serving others. The impact you make will be felt not only by our patients and their loved ones, but by you as well.

    If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like more information, please contact Kate Whaley, Volunteer Coordinator, at mary.whaley@gentivahs.com or call (573) 705-3475.

    Join us in making every moment matter. We look forward to welcoming you to our volunteer family!
