Description
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.
