Specialized Patient Support Programs at Sky Ridge
“Care Calls” in the Emergency Department
We are looking for caring, phone savvy individuals who would like to make “Care Calls” to patients who have recently visited the Emergency Department (ED) at Sky Ridge. Our goal is to establish whether patients received “Beyond Your Expectations” service and determine if there are any areas for improvement. This volunteer will work directly with the ED nurses and physicians and will be located in the Emergency Department. The ideal candidate will have a strong customer service background preferably with phone-related work. To learn more about this great opportunity please contact John Penn at 720-225-1998 or via email at John.Penn@HealthONEcares.com.
Make a Difference in a Cancer Patient's Life!
We have partnered with the American Cancer Society to open a Cancer Resource Center housed in the Sky Ridge Cancer Center. If you are a cancer survivor (at least one year out from treatment) and would like to offer support, information and assistance to cancer patients, both in our cancer center and throughout the community, please contact John Penn at 720-225-1998 or John.Penn@HealthONEcares.com.
Healing Hearts Program
Bill Gray, an open-heart surgery survivor, helped create our "Healing Hearts" program.
We are proud to offer this volunteer-run, open heart-support program called, "Healing Hearts." Ideally, you would be an open heart survivor, or a family member who has cared for a loved one during this experience. Our Healing Hearts Volunteers support patients before and after their procedure, and comfort family and loved ones. Volunteers are needed on an “on-call” basis and possess strong communication skills. Please call John Penn at 720-225-1998 to arrange an interview.
Become a Serenity Tea Volunteer
The goal of our Serenity Tea Program is to enhance the patient experience by direct, positive interaction with caring volunteers. This core group will serve tea and treats to our new moms and, most importantly, brighten the patient’s day with a smile. Volunteers will develop rapport with patients and family members and work with nursing units to gather additional information or escalate a matter when necessary. View the Serenity Tea Volunteer job description. Contact John Penn at 720-225-1998 or via email at john.penn@healthonecares.com for more information.
