A volunteer is needed to walk with a patient with low vision around the campus at Hospital for Special Care. The patient walks independently but is looking for a companion. There are paths with gardens, a koi pond and greenhouse. It's a pleasant way to give back and be part of our mission to rebuild lives.

The time commitment is once a week for an hour. Training and support are provided.
