You can learn about becoming a hospital volunteer for the No One Dies Alone program on Thursday, Jan. 15.

The session, hosted by Eskenazi Health, will share information about the program, which supports people who are alone and hospitalized in the last 24 to 72 hours of life. 

Volunteers must be 18 or older and undergo training and a background check. They will complete three-hour shifts to provide comfort to dying patients. People who have experienced the death of a family member or close friend in the past year are not eligible for the program. 

The information session will be from 1 to 3 p.m. at the FORVIS conference room at the Eskenazi Health downtown campus, 720 Eskenazi Ave. Register online. If you have questions about the program, call 317-880-8263.
