No One Dies Alone (NODA) Holly LaFebre, Director Covenant Mission Services (806) 725-4555

What is No One Dies Alone? Our special group of volunteers are called upon when direct care providers and/or chaplains encounter a patient who is dying alone in our hospital. Volunteers simply serve as a compassionate companion to the dying patient who has no friends or family at his/her beside. Volunteers provide a sacred presence. The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence Thich Nhat Hanh

Purpose Justice: We advocate for systems and structures that are attuned to the needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged and that promote a sense of community among all persons. Dignity: We respect each person as an inherently valuable member of the human community and as a unique expression of life. The NODA program supports not only our mission and values at Covenant Health System but also our Sacred Encounters, Healthiest Communities and Perfect Care long-term goals.

When do you call NODA? Criteria for Referrals If a patient is expected to die within 48-72 hours a healthcare provider or chaplain can call the pager to refer the patient for the NODA program. Assessment Question: Does this patient have family or friends at the bedside? If no, activate No One Dies Alone

How do you request NODA volunteers for your patient? Call the NODA pager: 721-6904 Pager response hours: Monday thru Friday, 7am 5pm Volunteers arrive within 1-3 hours of page during response hours

Other Details 35 active employee volunteers Since July 3 people / 56 hours Average time 1-2 hours If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Holly LaFebre in Mission Services at 725-4555.
