    Description

    Companionship Volunteer Needed!

    Bring support to hospice patients and their families with the gift of

    companionship. This opportunity is just for you if you enjoy conversation,

    reading scripture, singing, playing an instrument, or providing emotional

    support to others. Simply holding a patient’s hand can ease their mind and

    comfort their spirit. Make a difference in someone's life today!

    Volunteering takes no advanced medical training or great commitment. It

    is small deeds of kindness that so profoundly enhance the lives of our patients

    and those who love them.

    We are looking for YOU! Whether you can dedicate one hour or more we can

    utilize your talents. All volunteers will receive valuable training prior to

    visiting with patients. Companion volunteer visits are available in Sumner

    County especially in the Portland, TN and Westmoreland, TN area. Give us a call

    or stop in our office to learn more about this opportunity and become a valued

    member of the Gentiva team!

    Volunteers will need to complete a drug screen, background check, and TB test (Gentiva will provide)
