    Description

    Be a Historian, Listen to someone's life review!

    If you want to serve your community and you have a compassionate heart especially for those experiencing their last days, then Virginia Mason Franciscan Hospice and Palliative Care has a meaningful volunteer experience for you.

    Our volunteers take time to honor and celebrate people's lives all the way until the end by listening to their life stories, asking questions, looking through photo albums, and hearing about life's regrets, confessions, and advice from our wise elders as they transition towards death.
