    🚗 Go the Extra Mile – Bring Comfort Beyond the City 🌻

    Become a Hospice Volunteer Across Rural Kansas

    Do you live in or near Wichita and want to make a meaningful difference? Enhabit Hospice is looking for compassionate volunteers willing to travel beyond city limits to visit patients in small towns, farming communities, and rural areas within a 60-mile radius of our Wichita office.

    Many of our patients outside the city receive few visitors — and your time, presence, and kindness can change that. 💜

    💜 What You’ll Do:

    • Offer companionship through conversation, reading, listening, or simply being there.
    • Provide emotional support and comfort during one of life’s most meaningful chapters.
    • Help families and patients feel valued, remembered, and cared for.

    📍 Where You’re Needed:

    Enhabit serves patients across rural communities in south-central Kansas — including Hutchinson, El Dorado, Newton, Winfield, Wellington, Kingman, McPherson, and many more towns within about 60 miles of Wichita.

    🌟 Why It Matters:

    • Rural patients often have fewer visitors — your presence makes a real difference.
    • Flexible schedule — volunteer a few hours a week or even once a month.
    • No healthcare background required — we provide full training and support.
    • Mileage reimbursement options may be available.

    🚘 Your willingness to go the extra mile — literally — can bring comfort, connection, and hope to neighbors who need it most. Even a single visit can brighten someone’s day, ease feelings of loneliness, and remind them they are valued, cared for, and never forgotten — no matter how far off the beaten path they live.
