Caring Calls - For volunteers that love to talk on the phone you will be happy here! Volunteer callers make contact every morning of the week to people living alone. The callers check in with the Telecare participants between 7:30 and 10 am. Some talk of the weather, some talk of their day's plans, some don't talk at all! They all depend on someone calling to say hello. Volunteers generally fill one day a week.

Welcome Greeters: provide patients, their families, visitors and staff timely, courteous and attentive assistance. They do this by giving a warm welcome to every person who walks in the door, a compassionate “please take care” to all who are leaving, and active assistance to those who need direction or support.
