    Description

    Hospice volunteers provide meaningful support to patients living with serious illness and to the care teams who serve them. Volunteers may spend time offering companionship, playing cards, engaging in reminiscence activities, reading, listening, or simply being present with patients during an important stage of life.

    Volunteer opportunities are also available in our Palatine office, where volunteers can assist with administrative and organizational tasks that support patient care behind the scenes.

    If you are compassionate, dependable, and looking to make a difference in someone’s life, we would love to hear from you.

    Volunteer Opportunities Include:

    • Patient companionship visits
    • Conversation and social engagement
    • Games, reading, and reminiscence activities
    • Office and administrative support

    No medical experience is required. Training will be provided.

    Apply today to help bring comfort, connection, and support to individuals and families facing serious illness.
