    🎓 College Students: Want to Stand Out on Your Resume?

    If you're applying to medical school, nursing programs, PA school, social work, psychology, or healthcare careers, patient-facing experience matters. Hospice volunteering gives you the opportunity to develop real human connection skills that admissions committees notice.

    At Providence Home Health & Hospice, student volunteers provide companionship to hospice patients through conversation, listening, playing music, reading, or simply sitting with someone who needs company.

    This is a meaningful experience where you learn how to communicate with patients and families during one of the most important moments of life.

    ✔ Patient-facing experience

    ✔ Build your resume for healthcare programs

    ✔ Flexible schedule around classes

    ✔ Choose the patients you would like to visit

    ✔ Reference letters available for dedicated volunteers

    Just 10 hours a month can make a real difference for a patient and for your future career.
