Craft Volunteers consist of individuals or groups who touch patients in a special way by making lap blankets, Tactile blankets, shawls, memory bears and other articles for patients to enjoy.
Bereavement Volunteers offer support to the families of patients who have passed.

They often make phone calls to check up on family members and also send cards of comfort and care.
