    Description

    Volunteer Companions Needed for Patient Visits. The Gift of time: Hospice Patient Visits

    Our Patient Companion Volunteers offer kindness, attention and thoughtful support to hospice patients and family members at a time when it means the most. Make weekly one-hour visits to provide -

    • a caring presence, ease loneliness, and share stories and laughs
    • help with enjoyable activities
    • a heartfelt reminder that our patients are not alone on their end-of life-journey

    Volunteers mean so much to our patients and families!

    We offer great training and ongoing support to ensure that you feel comfortable in your work as a valued member of our Hospice Team.

    Visit our website at: www.goodshepherdhospice.com to submit your volunteer application and we will follow up with you right away. Or, contact Kathy Moore at 417-881-9111 or Kathy.Moore@goodshepherdhospice.com for more information.
