Make a Difference—Volunteer at Hi-Desert Medical Center
Please complete the following information if you would like to be contacted about volunteer opportunities with the Hi-Desert Medical Center Auxiliary.
You choose the time, date and number of hours available to serve as a Compassionate Companion for a patient who has no family or friends. The program provides for quiet reading, perhaps holding a hand, playing background music. Being there is the most important thing. The goal is death with dignity.
Training classes are scheduled the third Thursday of the month at 3 p.m. in the Helen Gray Education Center to train volunteers for this program. Chaplain Dorothy Thomas coordinates the program. You may contact her about the program at 760-367-3524 or provide the contact information in the form below if you want more information about this opportunity or would like to register to attend training classes.
