Bedside vigil volunteer - Wichita

Rivercross Healthcare is seeking bedside vigil volunteers to provide support to patients and families in the last days as patients transition. Bedside vigils can assist with running errands for family members, providing relief so they know the patient isn't alone, provide a listening ear for loved ones of the patient, and other various tasks. The most important part of being a bedside vigil volunteer is to ensure the patient is in a comfortable and quiet environment. The volunteer should encourage the family to play soft music for the patient, talk in soft tones, and make other suggestions to ensure the patient has a peaceful transition from this life into the next. Bedside vigil volunteer hours are contingent upon the patient needs.
