You can help by providing a reassuring presence at the bedside in the final hours/days of a patient's life by becoming a volunteer Transitions Companion. Simple ways you can help - Hold the patient's hand, read to them, play music, or just sit quietly and be a comforting presence. If family and/or caregivers are present, you can help support them in many meaningful ways from answering phones to providing guidance.

Reviews
Would you recommend Empath Health?
I know they do great things at Suncost, but this review is limited to my attempts to volunteer with this group. They did respond after several weeks, but I had already found something else to do. None-the-less, I hear it is a great place to volunteer.
I am 62, have a wonderful, healthy family and believe I can bring joy to some people less unfortunate than I am.
