MORE INFORMATION:

A.N.G.E.L.S. consists of Volunteers that provide bedside support to our patients with a calming presence during the final days and hours of life. Volunteers can read, pray, hold their hand and just "be there" for our patients during the final hours/days of life. These volunteers are needed on a quick response basis to give respite to the family or when family is not present.  No one should die alone. 

This position is as needed.  When someone is in the last days of life, the coordinator would contact you to ask if you have any availability to help.  We realize you have other things in your life and it is always OK to say no.  Patients are either in their home or a care facility.

Training is provided.  Must be at least 18.  Requires persons who can demonstrate empathy, compassion, and respect.  Good communications skills are a must.  Call Ann-Marie Fleming at 920-452-1851 or email ann-marie.fleming@compassus.com to learn more and join our team of caring helpers.
