    Are you passionate about compassionate care, eager to gain hands-on healthcare experience, and looking for an internship that makes a meaningful difference? Join Brighton Hospice for an immersive and rewarding internship designed for students pursuing careers in public health, social work, healthcare administration, or related fields.

    • Observe interdisciplinary team (IDT) meetings, gaining insight into collaborative care planning
    • Accompany field teams—Social Workers, Registered Nurses, and Spiritual Care Coordinators—based on your interests and team availability
    • Provide companionship to at least two patients, offering meaningful emotional support and experiencing direct patient interaction
    • Engage in meaningful discussions about end-of-life care, communication, ethics, and holistic approaches to patient-centered services
