We need your help to fulfill the needs of our patients and families by offering any of the following services:
friendly visiting/companionship
reading personal mail, literature, magazines/newspapers, etc.
storytelling
legacy projects
writing letters
music enrichment via playing an instrument or through an electronic device
translating languages--especially Spanish, French, German
