Description
Traditions Health is looking for compassionate people willing to give their time. Our hospice patients love when a volunteer can come visit with them. Our caregivers/family members sometimes need to do errands or would like to have time by themselves. Our volunteers are ready and willing to be with our patients during this time. We have other kinds of opportunities as well! If you, or someone you know, would be interested in learning more about this wonderful volunteer opportunity, please call me at 334-418-0566 or email me at yasmine.mixon@traditionshealth.com. It will be a very rewarding experience for you!
