Our bereavement department is committed to providing bereavement services to our patients and families. Bereavement volunteers work closely with our Bereavement Coordinator. Our program supports our patients and their families, via phone calls and mail while on service and for a period of twelve months after their loved one's death. Bereavement volunteers provide support visits to our patients and families, provide support calls in addition to the calls provided by the Bereavement Coordinator, provide assistance for bereavement support groups, & help to assist with our annual memorial service. All bereavement volunteers receive additional training and guidance before volunteering.
