    Description

    📞 One Phone Call. One Caring Voice. One Meaningful Difference.

    Not all volunteering requires being there in person.

    Sometimes, the greatest comfort comes from a friendly voice on the other end of the line.

    Amedisys Hospice in Bartlett is seeking compassionate volunteers to make friendly phone calls to hospice patients—offering companionship, reassurance, and human connection.

    💙 What You’ll Do

    • Make scheduled, friendly phone calls to hospice patients
    • Offer conversation, encouragement, and a listening ear
    • Help patients feel remembered, supported, and less alone

    (No medical care involved)

    🌟 Why Volunteer by Phone?

    • Make a real impact from home
    • Flexible scheduling
    • Training and ongoing support provided
    • Perfect for retirees, students, caregivers, or anyone with a caring heart

    🤍 Who We’re Looking For

    • Kind, patient, and compassionate individuals
    • Good listeners who enjoy conversation
    • Dependable volunteers who value connection

    No healthcare experience required.
