Become a Volunteer

Volunteering with SilverStone Health is a selfless mission of compassionate presence. Time with our patients is when we begin to deeply understand that who we are is a gift to be given. It is a time to see the truth and reality that our patients are a treasure to be received in a delicate exchange.

In our company, we all volunteer from our CEO to the care team and community of volunteers. The heart of the volunteer is our company’s DNA. When you volunteer with us, we will give you the training, skills, and confidence to supportively care, empathize, and guide our families and patients through illness, grief, and loss.

What is the No One
Dies Alone Program?

Our No One Dies Alone volunteers are specially trained to wait with our patients as their time of transition draws close. We support our patients as they are in their final 24-48 hours, especially if they live alone and are without family or friends.

We sit bedside and hold the hand of our patients, we read poems to them, we listen to their favorite music as they lay with shallow breath. We master the art of being present beside our patients and are always accessible to the family in the most challenging of circumstances. We are fiercely compassionate and vigilantly support each patient, so that no one dies alone.
