Ways to Get Involved
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities based on your interests, skills, and availability.
Patient Companion Volunteers
Spend time with patients through conversation, reading, listening to music, playing games, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence. These visits provide companionship and reduce feelings of loneliness.
Healing Arts Volunteers
Share your creative gifts through music, art, writing, meditation, or other calming activities. These meaningful moments can bring peace, relaxation, and emotional comfort to patients and families.

Bring joy and comfort through certified therapy animals. Pet visits often help reduce stress, lift spirits, and create warm, memorable moments for patients and caregivers.
Administrative & Office Volunteers
Support our care team behind the scenes with office tasks such as phone calls, mailings, filing, event preparation, and other important administrative support that helps our daily operations run smoothly.
