    Description

    Bring Smiles to Seniors: Play Games, Music, and Connect with Patients

    Even a small commitment from a volunteer can make a extraordinary difference in the life of a hospice patient. As a Gentiva Hospice volunteer, you can connect with patients in meaningful ways—whether through quiet companionship, attentive listening, reading aloud, playing music, or sharing simple games. Your presence also provides vital support to family members, giving them a much-needed break to rest or run errands.

    If you're interested in making a difference, apply today! Our Volunteer Coordinator, Brenda Puzzele-Stoltz, will guide you through our quick and easy onboarding process.
