Volunteer Illini Health Projects:

questions at nassin at uiuc.edu.

1. Personal Aide to Elderly man who suffered from stroke
2. Provena covenant Medical Center's "Grandma's attic sale"

******************* Personal Aide ***************************
A man who recently suffered a strong is in need of 
assistance. The patient's family is looking for a volunteer 
to provide companionship/supervision to the patient when the 
patient is discharged home.  The family is trying to achieve 
24-hour supervision, but has a gap from about 4pm to 7pm 
daily during which no family members are available to help 
out.
With any questions please contact Melissa Kane, Social Work 
Intern at Carle, at 326-1781.
