Office Volunteer includes Answering phones, data entry, filing, tuck in calls, or assisting with relaying messages to our team in the field are just a few of the responsibilities of an office volunteer. They help ensure efficient processing of paperwork and the overall smooth operation of the office.

Indirect Patient Care Volunteer involves assisting our team in the care of our patients. A volunteer would mainly work out of our main office and do a variety of tasks. Sending birthday or sympathy cards, bereavement letters, mail outs, phone calls and tuck in calls.

Direct Patient Care Volunteer involves a volunteer working directly with one of our patients and families. There are several ways this can happen along with simply showing up regularly and visiting with our patients and providing relational, social, and emotional support.

Respite Volunteers provide relief to the caregiver, if only for a short while, allowing them to tend to their own needs. The volunteer becomes a companion to the patient, quietly sitting and holding a hand, reading, etc.
