We now have in operation a program to provide assistance to members of the Notre Dame family during their stays in hospitals away from home. We invite you to become a part of this effort.

The specific elements:

• Emergency Care: Help for individuals who are unexpectedly hospitalized while traveling thru our area.
• Pre-Planned Care: Support to caregivers and patients who come to a hospital here for surgery or other procedures planned in advance.
• Long Term Care: Support to caregivers and those who come to local hospitals, assisted-living facilities, nursing homes, et al, for continuing care.

Here?s how it works. The club management has a list of club members who are willing to provide occasional support in various fields, such as transportation, housing, visitations, medical/professional advice. When you volunteer to be on this list, you are not committing to any particular situation, but you may be contacted by a club representative when a need arises.

The specific needs:

• Visit coordinators keep contact with the caregiver/patient, and coordinate the support of other club members as appropriate.
• Housing providers have room in their homes near hospitals or have access to hotel rooms or other living accommodations.
• Hospital volunteers spend time with patients during their confinement, sometimes to give caregivers some time off. They may also arrange for, or directly provide, Eucharistic and other church services.
• Transportation volunteers provide various transportation needs, such as airport pickups
• Medical/Professional advisors provide advice when requested
