Companionship Volunteers Needed

If you are searching for a way to make a difference in the lives of others, you belong here. Hospice volunteers are a valuable part of our care team, based on your interests and preferences, receive specific volunteer training to help improve the quality of life of others.

Volunteers provide companionship at a patient's bedside, running errands, help with administrative duties, create gifts for patients and their families.

• Hold a hand, share a story
• Send a card
• Listen, read, sing or play an instrument
• Make gifts for patients
• Run errands or perform light housekeeping
• Share flowers, bake or garden
• Make phone calls
• Attend community events

Volunteer Training

We support our volunteers and provide specific training:

• The hospice care team and the volunteer role
• The hospice philosophy and end-of-life care
• Grief and bereavement education
• Emotional and spiritual support in hospice care
• Communication and stress management
• Patient privacy and other regulations

Volunteering with hospice takes no advanced medical training or great commitment. All hospice volunteers are given assignments that best suit their time, skills and interests.

"I am a cancer survivor. I wanted to find a way to help others who might be home bound as I had been. As with most experiences in life when you help someone else, you're the one who ends up with the blessing!"

Sharon Collins, hospice volunteer

We love our volunteers and embrace why they are investing in our Hospice patients. YOU BELONG HERE.
