We are grateful to have a wonderful team of NODA volunteers who bring so much compassion to the hospital every day. ❤️

Celebrating National Volunteer Week this week, we’ll be highlighting just a few of the incredible volunteers who make a difference every day at Cape Fear Valley Health.

Today, we recognize our No One Dies Alone (NODA) volunteers. This 100% volunteer-run program provides companionship to end-of-life hospital patients who do not have loved ones by their side.

Our NODA volunteers offer comfort, dignity, and compassion in a patient’s final hours by playing soft music, reading, praying or meditating according to the patient’s beliefs, alerting staff to any physical discomfort, and providing thoughtful comforts like warm blankets, flowers, lotion, lip balm, battery-powered candles, religious items, and handwritten cards.
Their kindness ensures that no patient is ever alone in their final moments.

Yesterday was an exciting day at Cape Fear Valley Health, as the team from ABC11 WTVD visited to learn about music therapy and its impact on our behavioral health patients. 🎶

Thanks to the generosity from the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County, Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation received a $12,000 grant to support music therapy programs in both the Adult Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit and the Dorothea Dix Adolescent Care Unit at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. These programs are helping patients heal, express themselves and find moments of connection through music.

🔗 Watch the full story here below.

Many patients in the program are being treated for stress, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.
