    Description

    At Providence Hospice, we’re looking for volunteers who can offer something simple, but powerful:

    Your presence.

    A visit.

    A conversation.

    A shared moment that reminds someone—they’re not alone.

    WHAT VOLUNTEERS DO:

    • Sit and talk with patients

    • Listen to stories or share memories

    • Offer companionship during quiet moments

    • Give caregivers time to step away and recharge

    • Brighten someone’s day just by showing up

    THIS IS OLD-SCHOOL CARE.

    Face-to-face visits.

    Real conversations.

    Human connection that still matters.

    YOU WON’T DO THIS ALONE:

    You’ll be guided by a full-time Volunteer Coordinator, supported by experienced volunteers, and backed by our seasoned hospice team every step of the way.

    FLEXIBLE & MEANINGFUL:

    • You choose how far you travel (we serve a 60-mile radius)

    • You choose the visits that feel right for you

    • We provide training, shadowing, and ongoing support
