Christopher Atkinson joined MorseLife Hospice and Palliative Care as a volunteer in July 2023 after graduating from Florida Atlantic University and while continuing his aspirations of becoming a doctor. Most recently, he served as a medical scribe for a physician in private practice and has been interested in the field of hospice since witnessing the program’s positive impact on his grandfather’s life journey. As a volunteer, Christopher spends time with patients and their families, providing comfort, company, and conversation. He tailors his visits to resonate with each unique individual and, after learning about each client, he finds books, music and television programs that will be of interest. By offering emotional support to patients and their families, like listening and letting them know he understands what they are experiencing, he makes a profound difference during his time.
