    Volunteer Opportunity: End-of-Life Doula - A Sacred Presence for Hospice Patients

    Are you called to provide comfort, connection, and compassion at life’s most meaningful moments? Holisticare Hospice is seeking End-of-Life Doulas to join our dedicated team of volunteers.

    End-of-Life Doulas offer emotional, spiritual, and practical support to patients and families as they navigate the end-of-life journey. Through your intentional presence and open heart, you can help create a peaceful and dignified environment for those in their final days.

    As an End-of-Life Doula, you may:

    • Offer companionship, comfort, and a calming presence
    • Provide comfort measures and sit vigil during final hours
    • Offer respite to caregivers
    • Listen with compassion and hold space for emotions
    • Encourage life review, legacy exploration, and meaningful rituals (such as prayer, singing, or reading)
    • This is a unique opportunity to walk alongside individuals and families with empathy and grace.

    We Provide:

    • Free comprehensive hospice training and orientation
    • Ongoing support to help you feel confident and prepared in both home and facility settings
    • Flexible scheduling based on your availability

    If you're someone with a warm presence and a desire to serve others in a deeply impactful way, we welcome you to apply.

    Thank you for considering this profound and meaningful way to volunteer.

    Together, we can bring peace and comfort at end of life.
