Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is seeking volunteers to provide companionship to patients, and to help people find their way around the medical center.

“We have an urgent need for more volunteers,” said Michele Prince, director of volunteer services for Cedars-Sinai. “It’s a great way to give back to your community and enhance your skills. And there are so many ways to volunteer. No matter your interests, skill set or experience level, there is a volunteer role for you.”

Volunteers visit with patients, help them eat and assist with tasks that free nurses and other caregivers to concentrate on patient care.

“We are looking for people who want to enhance their lives and add to their level of experience,” Prince said. “Our volunteers find that they learn more from patients and I get back 10-times what they give.”
