Do you have an hour a week to share your heart with a person at the end of life? Are you looking for a rewarding way to spend a little time each week? Compassus Hospice is looking for compassionate, caring individuals who would like to be Companion Volunteers. Our volunteers spend their time visiting patients engaging in whatever activity the patients would like to do, such as walking outside, listening to music, reading, chatting, reminiscing or playing a game.
If this speaks to your heart, call Kim Iannacci, Volunteer Coordinator for more information. 978 777-8222 or email at Kimberly.Iannacci@compassus.com. We provide full training and orientation and we request a committment of at least 6 months and 1 hour a week.
You can make a difference in someone's life!
