The door opened to...

... a world where people can use genuine smiles!


Can you smile?


If you know how to smile we need you. Gentiva Hospice provides care for those people who have a terminal illness and are likely in their last year of life. We want their last days to be good days. We pair volunteers with hospice patients (one volunteer per patient) and ask that you visit your patient 2-4 times per month (open to discussion) for at least 30 minutes each visit.

Smile at your patient. Watch TV. Talk. Read out loud. Listen to music. Craft. Play games, do a word search, complete a crossword puzzle, take a walk, pretty much anything.


Make the lives of those who have a terminal illness happier!
