In the infusion area, volunteers offer a snack or beverage to a patient, hand out warm blankets, share reading materials, talk and listen, wipe down the infusion chairs, and help support the nurses with re-stocking.

Ideal candidates may be a retiree, cancer survivor, or a caregiver of someone with cancer. We would also consider a college student with an interest in oncology, nursing, or medicine. We ask for a minimum time commitment of 3 hours per week for at least six months.
