Volunteer Services
The end-of-life journey can be difficult for loved ones. At times, they may need to run errands, go to an appointment, or simply meet a friend for a cup of coffee. Traditions Health has volunteers available that will sit with patients, read to them, or just spend time with them allowing loved ones the comfort of knowing patients are well cared for while they are away. Our volunteer coordinators match the right volunteers with the right patient to meet that patient’s needs.

Advanced Supportive Care/Homedica

Homedica offers palliative care to patients in the comfort and safety of their own homes. Palliative care is beneficial for patients who have limited mobility or simply need the additional palliative support Homedica offers so they can continue chemotherapy, radiation, or dialysis as comfortably as possible.
