What is Coronavirus? How serious is it?
A coronavirus is one of a cluster of diseases named because it resembles a crown when viewed under a microscope. Coronaviruses vary in severity—some producing symptoms similar to a common cold, and others more dangerous, especially to people who are vulnerable because of age or health status. COVID-19, a more severe coronavirus, has recently spread to many countries including to the United States.

Volunteers play a critical role in enhancing the end-of-life experiences of people facing serious illness and their families.

Their many skills are matched to important tasks within our mission.
