6/2/2025

But what if someone was there to ensure that no one had to face their final moments in solitude? Dr. Andy Shen helped found the Caring Companions Program, originally called No One Dies Alone. This Program is made up of trained volunteers who sit with patients in their final hours. They offer a hand to hold, a gentle voice, and, at times, simply the quiet comfort of companionship. Sia Presser helps share this story.
