Description
Franciscan Hospice Volunteer Services is looking for bilingual individuals who can help visit & comfort our diverse hospice families. Hospice patients of different cultures often appreciate someone who can visit with them, speak their native language, read comforting materials, or play music that is culturally familiar.
Common language groups our hospice team serve include German, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese, and Spanish. If you are fluent in any of these languages along with English, we invite you to join our hospice team to increase the quality of life and comfort for all of our patients. We provide comprehensive hospice training as well as ongoing support and education.
