The final hours of life should be filled with peace, not loneliness. Cardinal Hospice is looking for Vigil Volunteers to provide a comforting presence for hospice patients during their transition.
Your Role: To provide a comforting presence at the patient's bedside. This can be done though conversation, stoic silence, reading aloud, playing soft music, praying, etc.
How it works: The volunteer coordinator will reach out to you when Vigil is needed with a location. If you choose to accept that Vigil, you will meet your VC at the location of the patient as soon as your schedules allow. This volunteer role moves quickly when called upon, but calls can come weeks apart or mere days.
Requirements:
Volunteer application, orientation, and training.
Clean Background Check.
The ability to remain calm in very emotional settings.
