Are you a warm, caring and compassionate person? Do you enjoy visiting with elderly?

We are looking for volunteers aged 18 and up who are able to contribute at least one 4 hour shift per week to visit, engage, read to and play games with patients who do not typically have visitors. The goal of this program is to reduce the risk of isolation in patients who have no friends or family nearby and increase socializing and cognitive stimulation.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to improve the health of every person we serve through the efficient delivery of excellent, innovative and compassionate care. Danbury Hospital, part of the Western Connecticut Health Network, will be the preferred partner in health and provider of care for the communities we serve and will be among the most respected community healthcare systems in the nation.

Description

At Danbury Hospital we are committed to providing you and your family with personalized care without compromise. For more than 130 years, we have been caring for residents throughout the Greater Danbury area.

Our patients are people first - we know them from school, places of worship and the community. That’s the benefit of care from our warm, inviting community hospital as opposed to a large, unfamiliar medical center.

* Compassion - We serve others with empathy and a desire to alleviate their suffering while honoring each individual’s dignity and privacy.
* Teamwork - We work together in a cooperative, coordinated and supportive environment that places the team’s or organization’s goals ahead of individual goals.
