Looking for Massage Therapy Volunteers for Hospice Patients

Hospice of the Valley e is looking for Certified Massage Therapists to volunteer with hospice patients. We serve patients in Santa Clara County that live in their home or at nursing facilities.

The greatest gift you can offer to hospice patients is your time, your caring nature, your healing skills and your willingness to listen. To volunteer, you should provide proof of completed training in reiki or massage therapy. We provide hospice training and ongoing support to all volunteers, so experience is not required.

Being a hospice volunteer is a great opportunity to practice compassion and discover your skills and learn new ones during end-of-life care. Volunteers are trained to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional and practical needs of hospice patients and their families.
