SHERIDAN — Sheridan Memorial Hospital volunteer Rosemary Rieder said making someone feel at home in an unfamiliar place is as simple as learning their name and listening to their story. “If they’re stressed, you can relieve it by saying hello and just listening,” Rieder said. “Maybe they need to talk to someone.
