Patient Support Team Volunteer
Not everyone has time to volunteer on a regular schedule. That’s why starting or joining a Patient Support Team may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for!
Patient Support Teams are groups of two or more trained Patient Support Volunteers who are contacted when we have an urgent need nearby. One or more of your group members can step up and support a patient when no one else can!
