Description

Many patients have no family nearby or would simply enjoy a kind conversation, a listening ear, or someone to sit quietly with them.

No medical experience is needed. We provide all training and support. Just bring your compassion, kindness, and willingness to make a meaningful difference.

As a hospice companion volunteer, you may:

Visit with patients and share a conversation

Read aloud from a favorite book or newspaper

Listen to life stories and treasured memories

Sit quietly to provide comfort and companionship

Offer a calming presence during a patient's final journey
