    Description

    Do you have a friendly pet that enjoys meeting new people? If so, we would love to hear from you!

    At Suncrest Hospice, volunteers can take their pets with good dispositions to meet our patients one-on-one or in group settings, depending on what works best for you and your pet. We welcome all kinds of therapy/support animals.

    We are especially looking for volunteers willing to serve patients and families in and around Streamwood or Des Plaines.

    All Suncrest Hospice volunteers must be 16 or older and are required to complete a background check, be fingerprinted, and complete TB and drug testing at no charge to you.
