The Healing Power of Presence: Bring Comfort to Hospice Patients in STL City
SSM Health at Home couldn’t provide the exceptional hospice care that we do without our volunteers. Volunteers make meaningful contributions to the lives of our patients and caregivers as well as our hospice team. Share your time and compassion visiting hospice patients in homes and nursing facilities in various locations throughout St. Louis city -- Kingshighway Hills, Tower Grove Park, Downtown, etc.
