Serving for thirty years, Lutheran Hospice is the only provider that is both non-profit and ministry-based, serving people of all faiths and beliefs since 1995. Most of all, for Us, our work is not simply a job, it is a calling.
Our Direct Patient Care Volunteers are a vital part of Our TEAM. It is our desire to build on your skills so that you feel confident as you walk with patients and families during this stage of life. We serve all over the Upstate, where ever patients call home. Service days and times are flexible and scheduled by you the volunteer with the patient and family.
Our goal is to provide excellent patient care while meeting all federal regulations. Therefor we observe a comprehensive and secure process before active volunteering. No medical experience needed, and volunteers must be over 18 years of age, plan to serve a minimum of twice a month and for more than six months. In addition to the Application Packet and Volunteer Orientation the onboarding process includes, online training modules, background screening, flu vaccination and completing a two-step PPD. It seems like a lot, but the rewards are worth it.
Please visit our website at LutheranHospice.org for more information.
We serve not because it is as a job, rather because it’s a calling!
Our trained volunteers are an integral part of our team devoted to fulfilling the goals and wishes of our patients and families. Hospice volunteering goes beyond the service given to patients and families, it is learning to live making each day count in our own story. In a way it is life training.
Volunteers chose the hours they can serve, we request a minim of three hours a month, to keep you connected to both our patients and our team.
Our requirements meet national standards for service with this special population, so volunteering is a sizable commitment with greater rewards.
It is a process to become a volunteer and we are looking for people who have the desire to form a long term relationship with our TEAM and Families. Feel free to call me with any questions.
