Please note that requests for medical escort services require 14 business days' notice in advance of a medical appointment. This time allows our coordinators to identify and schedule an appropriate volunteer for your escort.
BOSTON/BROOKLINE: Effective immediately, we will be temporarily pausing taking on any NEW Medical Escort requests for appointment dates after August 29th. We expect this pause to be temporary and will post an update as soon as we have a firm date to resume. Medical Escorts in Newton are still available.
If you already have confirmed an escort request for September or later, we will be in touch with an update no later than 5 business days before your appointment. If you have a change to that already scheduled appointment, you can leave a message at 617-482-1510 ext. 126. Please note this voicemail will only be monitored periodically after August 29th.Thank you for your interest in our Friendly Helping program. We have paused new requests for the program in Boston and Brookline. (Friendly Helping in Newton is still available.)
We are unsure of our timeline, but we will share updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
