  Mission Statement: Through the efforts of AMC employees and volunteers, No One Dies Alone provides a gift to dying patients who would otherwise be alone. With the help of the care giving staff the volunteers will be able to offer the most valuable gift - presence.
  
  The basic function is that the compassionate companion volunteer will provide compassionate, active listening , and quiet time. They will also provide emotional and spiritual support to the patient. Other basic needs such as a warm blanket, holding the patients hand , reading to them will also be part of the compassionate companion responsibilities. Whatever will help the patient in this last journey the compassionate companion will try to assist them with obtaining so the patient can die with dignity and respect and not alone.
