Volunteer brings light to people in life’s twilight
[Allina Health Newsroom, September 06, 2024]
“If I light up somebody else’s life, it lights up my own.”
Volunteer Kathy Miller says that’s especially true of her time with Allina Health Hospice, a special unit within the volunteer ranks that supports patients who are at the end of life. In the video below, Kathy explains how she came to the work and what she enjoys most about it.
Volunteering happens in private homes, assisted living centers, skilled nursing facilities, group homes and residential hospice facilities. Volunteers who work directly with patients are considered part of the care team, but typically act independently. They get regular help from volunteer coordinators who provide updates on patients and their care.
“I always feel supported,” Kathy said. “I’ve never felt alone.”
