When Gurpartap Bajaj of West Windsor, N.J., was dying, volunteers from the Penn Medicine Princeton HomeCare’s Hospice Program were there for him and his family, tending to their emotional needs and helping them through a difficult time.
Bajaj’s daughter, Ruchi Datta, and her family members were so appreciative of the volunteers’ compassionate care and support that they recently held a gathering to thank them and then made a gift in their honor to the Princeton Medical Center (PMC) Foundation.
The Hospice Program at Princeton HomeCare includes a team of volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to provide emotional support to patients and family members as they work through end-of-life issues.
One program at Princeton HomeCare, called No One Dies Alone, was established in 2016 to ensure that specially trained volunteers are available to provide caring, bedside companionship to hospice patients at times when family or friends cannot be there.
Gifts to the PMC Foundation are used to financially support the mission of Penn Medicine Princeton Health. To learn more, call 609.252.8710 or visit PrincetonHCS.org/Foundation.
