Volunteers are the Heart of Hospice

Hospice has been praised for being the nation's first coordinated care service. At the heart of hospice are our volunteers!

Join our Gateway Family - and be part of a team of professionals, including Physicians, Nurses, Hospice Aides, Social Workers, and Chaplains to provide quality end of life care.

There are several ways volunteers can lend themselves to serve patients and families. Opportunities include providing a listening ear as a companion volunteer, providing respite for caregivers to have a break, managing special projects in our North Hills office, and supporting caregivers who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

Gateway Hospice serves patients and families throughout the Western Pennsylvania Region - including Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington, and Westmoreland counties.

We are always looking for new ideas on how to better serve our patients and families, through innovative programs, such as our 'Life Stories' program, Art or Music activities, Veterans serving Veterans, or friendly Pet visits to our patients residing in nursing homes. If you have a talent and/or idea you would like to share with us, please do not hesitate to reach out.

We provide training and ongoing education to prepare and support our volunteers to serve vulnerable patients and their families.

We look forward to hearing from you!
