    Description

    Be the Voice That Brings Peace of Mind

    A Simple Phone Call Can Make a World of Difference.

    Baptist Hospice is looking for one or two compassionate volunteers to join our team by making our weekly "Tuck-In-Calls" from our Batesville office.

    Every Wednesday or Thursday, you'll spend 2-3 hours calling hospice patients and their caregivers before the weekend to see how they're doing and make sure they have everything they need.

    Sometimes it's as simple as asking:

    • "Do you have enough supplies to get through the weekend?"
    • "Is there anything you'd like me to let the hospice team know?"
    • "How are you doing today?"

    These conversations provide more than information - they provide reassurance. Caregivers often carry a tremendous amount of responsibility, and knowing someone is checking in each week gives them one less thing to worry about.

    Over time, many volunteers develop a light friendships with the spouses, adult children, and family members they call. A familiar, caring voice can become one of the highlights of their week.

    This volunteer opportunity may be perfect for you if you:

    • Enjoy talking with people.
    • Have a kind, compassionate heart.
    • Are a good listener.
    • Want to make a meaningful difference from the comfort of an office setting.
    • Can commit to about 2-3 hours each week on a Wednesday or Thursday.

    The schedule is flexible, and we're happy to have one volunteer or two volunteers share the responsibility.

    If you've been looking for a way to encourage others, build meaningful connections, and support families during an important season of life, we'd love to talk with you.
