STATION DG-06 · DOING GOOD
Hospital Visitation
Nobody should get a diagnosis in an empty room.
A trained rotation of visitors across Houston hospitals: presence, prayer, translation, parking money, and calls to family who live too far to come. We coordinate with chaplaincy rather than working around it.
