Heartland Hospice Erie


  • About Us

    Heartland volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform.

    THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE:

    • Helping with office support tasks at the agency
    • Running errands for patients and families
    • Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
    • Reading, or providing a comforting touch
    • Playing or singing soothing music to patients
    • Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
    • Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
    • Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans

    * We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
