Provide Music to a Hospice Patient
Details
Description
A hospice volunteer is someone who wants to make a difference. Our volunteers help by bringing joy and comfort to patients and families, offering companionship and compassionate presence, among many other things. The rewards of hospice volunteering are meaningful and powerful, enriching ourselves as we provide care for others. We provide training that is uplifting, as well as informative, and can be done at your own pace. We practice all COVID safety control measures and provide PPE.
