HD Hospice Volunteer

Are you interested in becoming a Hospice Volunteer?

Hospice volunteering introduces you to people from all walks of life, each with their own unique story. Serving hospice patients in the last days of their lives helps bring them comfort, especially if they don’t have any family with them. Even though working with people in hospice can be challenging, the benefits of volunteering make it a fulfilling experience.

As a hospice volunteer, you have a considerable impact on the quality of life for people receiving hospice care. Everything you do with patients - from simply holding their hand to joining in their hobbies - helps make a difference in their lives.

The importance of volunteering to patients themselves cannot be overstated. Each hospice patient paired with a volunteer has someone to lean on during what may be the most difficult time of their life.

Many people at the end of life are uncertain about the future and need extra help to feel as peaceful and secure as possible. When you volunteer, you provide extra support with your companionship and any special skills you provide.
