    Description

    When an individual faces end-of-life decisions, they often experience a range of thoughts and feelings, including fear and relief. The purpose of a hospice team is to support each patient and their family at this time. This team consists of medical professionals, psychosocial staff, spiritual clinicians, and volunteers.

    The role of volunteers is crucial in providing comprehensive end-of-life care. As a patient visitor, you would offer companionship and a calming presence to hospice patients in their homes or facilities. Additionally, you would provide relief to caregivers who deserve a well-earned break.

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Volunteer Department at PMatHomeVolunteerDepartment@pennmedicine.upenn.edu
