Can you spare an hour for an elderly hospice patient? In return, you could gain invaluable patient interaction experience! CorsoCare Hospice is seeking compassionate, empathetic college students who are in the medical, nursing or social work field who are willing to give their time and supportive presence by visiting hospice patients at Danbury Broadview Heights.

Our volunteers share their time in many ways and may include reading to the patient, taking a walk, playing cards, watching TV, chatting or some other low-key activity the patient feels up to doing. Sometimes just sitting with them so they know they aren't alone is enough.CorsoCare provides all PPE necessary to ensure a safe and enriching experience on every visit. You will also be provided ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout your service with us and will be invited to education opportunities and appreciation events.If you have any questions, or need further information, please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Recruiting Specialist/Administrative Assistant, at (248) 260-8257 or [email protected].
