The NODA program is a compassionate initiative that ensures no patient faces their final moments alone, providing comfort and companionship during their time of need. Mon Health’s dedicated volunteers will be available to offer a comforting presence, a hand to hold, and a listening ear to those who are in the final stages of life.
“We have established the NODA program at Mon Health Medical Center for patients who need accompaniment during their dying days,” said Kathy Kerzak, Pastoral Care Coordinator at Mon Health Medical Center. “Sometimes our patients have outlived their families, or family members live too far away from their loved one or are ill themselves and cannot come to the hospital. This program provides compassionate companions to be a caring presence and advocate so that the patient might have peace in their final days.”
The NODA program will be accepting a new cohort of volunteers in September. Those interested in volunteering must participate in an interview and training sessions. For more information on becoming a NODA volunteer, contact Jacob Mulder, Director of Volunteer Services and Guest Services, at Jacob.Mulder@VandaliaHealth.org.
