Serving as a Friendly Visitor Volunteer to offer compassionate comfort and support for our terminally-ill patients. Friendly Visitor Volunteers spend quality time with our patients, making each day as good as it can be. Often times it just takes playing a game of checkers or going outside for some fresh air to make the day great for a patient. While we recognize the patient is terminally-ill, as a Friendly Visitor Volunteer, you will focus on what the patient can do during your visit. So play checkers. Go for a walk. it all depends on what the patient feels like doing that day.
