    Description

    Hospice Patient Companion in Springfield

    We are searching for people who are truly interested in making a difference in people’s lives. Some of our patients have families who live far away or maybe just can't be with their loved one as much as they'd like. We have patients in their own homes and patients in senior living facilities around the area. We will match you up with a patient to visit (no hands-on care, just being a friend) that would fit your schedule and location. We only ask that you visit a few hours a month. We'll provide the training and pay for all the background checks, etc. This is great for students going into medical careers who want to have a patient-centered experience, and for any who are interested in spending time giving back.

    Disclaimer: We are sorry, but we can't accept any court ordered community service.
