Marty

“Your mere presence matters.”
That simple phrase changed everything for Marty, a Compassus hospice volunteer who has spent the last four years bringing comfort and connection to patients during their most sacred moments. From his first nervous visit to heartfelt wheelchair strolls in the sunshine, Marty learned that sometimes just being there is the greatest gift of all.

This Volunteer Appreciation Month, we honor people like Marty who remind us that each day is a gift—and that showing up with compassion can make all the difference.
