    Description

    Hospice Volunteers

    Hospice volunteers come from a variety

    of backgrounds but share a common

    interest - making a difference in another’s life. Some volunteers have personally

    experienced hospice through the care of

    a family member or friend and choose to

    give back to others. Volunteers select the

    type of work that best suits them -

    directly with patients and families or

    indirectly through office assistance.

    Whether it’s providing companionship

    or just a quiet presence, volunteers support patients and their families. Hospice

    volunteers feel appreciated and develop a deep appreciation for life. It is gratifying to know your time has deeply impacted a family and is a great service to your community.
