Volunteers Needed to Call Hospice Patients

Sometimes the most meaningful support is simply being there to listen.

Every conversation has the power to bring light into someone’s life. A phone call may bring moments of comfort, connection, and hope for patients nearing the end of life. By asking if they need anything (supplies, medications), and listening to them, you can remind someone that they are seen, valued, and never alone.

Phone calls are made on a weekly basis to check in on our patients. You will communicate with the patient, family or caregiver to ensure the patient has what they need over a weekend and/or holiday. This helps the hospice staff plan and prepare for support and deliveries of needed items when the office is closed as well as monitoring the comfort and care of the patient.

Calls need to be made from our local Bristol Hospice office due to HIPPA laws.

If you feel called to make a difference in this meaningful way, join us. We’ll guide you through training and welcome you to the Bristol Hospice Volunteer Team, where your voice can truly change lives.
