    Description

    Recruiting Kind-Hearted Hospice Volunteers in Gig Harbor!

    Imagine providing joy and comfort by simply being present with someone! Holding hands, reading a book, watching TV and listening to stories are all meaningful ways our volunteers support our patients.

    As a hospice volunteer, you will receive a sense of fulfillment in connecting with another human at such a sacred time, and a sense of awe at the preciousness and beauty of life!

    Virginia Mason Franciscan Hospice and Palliative Care is seeking kind-hearted individuals to provide compassionate and friendly companionship with our patients and respite for their caregivers.

    Whether it's a private home, skilled nursing facility, adult family home, or the Franciscan Hospice House, we meet our patients where they are to offer comfort and support.

    We look forward to hearing from you!
