Volunteers from the Kamiah and Cottonwood area are welcome to attend.  Both communities also sponsor a NOSDA program.
According to the training flyer, NOSDA volunteers sit with people nearing the end of life’s journey.  “We sit with patients in the hospital, nursing home or assisted living facility, providing a caring presence to those without family or giving some time off to a loving family,” says the flyer.
NOSDA volunteers respond to requests from families or health care providers.  They meet as a group on an ‘as needed’ basis for training and support.
“We recruit new volunteers and provide training about once a year.  It is nice to have a group of individuals willing to provide a loving presence at the end of another’s life,” said Lohmeyer.  “We do not go into people’s homes, but stay with them when they are in a hospital, long term care or assisted living facility.  Any interested family can contact the facility to request NOSDA’s participation or they can call Sr. Janet Barnard at CVHC, 476-4555.”
