- Companion
A volunteer comes regularly, 1-2 times a week, to a particular patient to keep them company, to talk, to spend time together (by reading, puzzle solving, walking, playing games, ...).
- Canisteraphy
Twice a week, our volunteers and their friendly dogs visit patients in the geriatric, oncology and pediatric departments.
Do you have a dog with a friendly nature at home and some free time to do it? Be sure to help us, the most experienced canister therapist Petra will be happy to explain everything there is to know.
- Virtual reality
Afternoon activity for bedbound patients. In cooperation with Kaleido, we can take patients on a 15-minute trip beyond their everyday experience, e.g. to Karlstejn Castle, to Amsterdam, to the beach or the forest, or to a concert.
- Piano
Once a week/fortnight a volunteer plays the piano for patients at the palliative care unit (day, time and intervals by appointment).

Volunteers
Activity description
"VOLUNTEER - A PRICELESS PERSON"
A volunteer is anyone who, in their free time, out of good will, and without financial reward, carries out activities for the benefit of other people. Anyone can be a volunteer, because each of us has something that can be given to others.
The hospital volunteer has a specific role
- The volunteer (unlike the medical staff) does not have to be concerned about the illness and what the patient cannot do, but focuses on what is healthy and what the patient can do despite their illness.
- The volunteer is oriented towards the human contact, in other words, "caring about the person and not the patient" is what matters.
- The volunteer does not replace the work of the professional staff, but does his best to supports and complements it.
