Volunteer Opportunity Details:

The feeling of a tender touch of the hand is very soothing and relaxing, especially so for patients in a hospital. At the request of our nursing staff, Tender Touch was developed as a complimentary service for selected patients. Just a few minutes lightly rubbing patients hands with moisturizing lotion will help bring that human touch we all enjoy. This is truly an opportunity to make a difference in adding to the care and comfort of our patients, and a rewarding experience for you as well.

Potential volunteers will attend a general orientation, complete an application and schedule an interview to discuss schedules and next steps.
