    Description

    Compassion + Presence = Comfort

    Hospice volunteers make a huge difference in our patients' dying process by just BEing with them. Whether holding hands in silence, listening to life stories, playing oldies on your phone, or playing "Go Fish", your presence with our patients will enhance their quality of life and offer much-needed comfort.

    At the end of life, that's what matters.

    You bring compassion and presence, we provide training, and together we bring comfort to those who need it most.
