    Description

    As one of the nation’s largest hospice providers, Enhabit is focused on providing dignity and comfort to patients at the end of life. Hospice is more than just symptom and pain management; it is a philosophy of care designed to treat every physical, spiritual and emotional need of a patient and their loved ones.

    One of the ways we are able to provide such comprehensive care is through our hospice volunteers. Volunteers are required by Medicare to be part of the hospice care team with the goal of offering specialized skills and support outside of the clinical team. Volunteers ensure that the patient and family’s needs are met through companionship, assisting with everyday tasks and providing respite time to a patient’s caregivers.

    Enhabit is looking for volunteers to provide companionship and support to patients during their final months and weeks of life. As a hospice volunteer, you'll help ensure that the patient and family's needs are met by assisting with everyday tasks, providing respite time to a patient's caregiver or clerical tasks.

    If you want to make an impact and feel a calling to connect with others, we encourage you to join our team of compassionate volunteers today.

    Hospice Volunteers can help by: Providing companionship and socialization, help with general office support, run errands for families, write a journal or life story with patients to give to families, play games or read or listen to music with patients, walk/care for family pets, provide bereavement support.
