Geisinger Medical Students Offer Companionship in No One Dies Alone Program
Amid the serene corridors of Allied Services Hospice facilities in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, a unique partnership unfolds that intertwines compassion and medical education. The No One Dies Alone program, an initiative involving students from Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, ensures that terminally ill patients have companionship during their final days.
In a recent discussion on WVIA Radio, reporters Roger DuPuis and Lydia McFarlane delved into the impact of this program. They highlighted the role of student volunteers who “vigil sit” with patients, offering much-needed presence and comfort when family members are unable to be there.
