Are you a warm and caring individual with a heart for people in their final stage of life? Volunteer with Bethesda Hospice Care as a "No One Dies Alone" (NODA) Companion to help make someone's last moments, good moments! As a NODA volunteer, you'll gain deep satisfaction while providing a caring presence to patients who have reached the final hours of life. Here are some of the things you will do as a NODA volunteer - sit bedside vigil, read to patients, play music for them, hold their hand, pray with them, report any discomfort to nurses and staff, and be a comforting presence.
NODA volunteers sit vigil for 2 hour shifts at a time of their choosing, so this volunteer opportunity can be a good fit for many schedules. Plus, we have several care facilities in the Greater St. Louis area, so you can choose to sit vigil at the facility that is most convenient for you.
Want to learn more about volunteering as a NODA Companion? Please contact Volunteer Coordinator Melissa Helmkamp at MAHelmkamp@bethesdahealth.org or at (314)479-1748.
