Hello, I thought I read that ACS was working with Mayo to have Volunteers who would go to an appointment with you. Or perhaps come have a cup of tea with you during a spouse's surgery. Is anything set up like that? Thank you-

In addition to Patient Navigator that Colleen mentioned, Mayo also has volunteers that you will see at Mayo campus. They do not attend appointments with patients, but they do other services to assist staff and make patient experience less stressful. You will often see at various locations to help with directions and answer questions. Sometimes they are in surgical areas to visit with families. I am familiar with Rochester campus, but I assume other campus have similar volunteers.
