VIGIL NODA "No One Dies Alone" Hospice Volunteers Needed in Owosso

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: CorsoCare Hospice

Image_202208091528

CorsoCare Hospice is seeking compassionate, empathetic individuals who are willing to give their time and supportive presence to become Vigil NODA "No One Dies Alone" volunteers. These incredibly special volunteers are asked to provide support to our actively dying patients in facility settings and private homes. This includes sitting by the bedside, providing calming music or supportive presence (conversation/reading/gentle touch) and supporting grieving families at the bedside.

Please note: If you are new to hospice or NODA volunteering, as part of your training, you will be asked to serve as a Companion Volunteer for a period of 1-2 months to ensure it is a fit. This is due to the sensitive nature of NODA Volunteering and is subject to Volunteer Coordinator approval.

CorsoCare provides all PPE necessary to ensure a safe and enriching experience on every visit. You will also be provided ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout your service with us and will be invited to education opportunities and appreciation events.

If you have any questions, or need further information, please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Administrative Assistant, at (248) 260-8257 or nicole.gerber@corsocare.com.


"The last good thing that may happen in a person's life is a hospice volunteer."
