Compassionate Care Hospice is looking for all types of artists to bring some sunshine to our hospice patients on their end-of-life journey. Do you paint, draw? We have a role for that... custom made cards and celebratory room signs. Do you write poetry or tell stories? You can be a pen pal or tell stories to our patients. Do you sew, knit or crochet? We always need memory bears, lap quilts, shawls, small stuffed hearts for our memory care patients. Do you sing or play an instrument? You can play in person or record yourself playing and we can show it to the patients? Are you great at social media and writing? We are looking for help with social media postings and short written pieces for various new letters and outreach.
Have another talent I haven't mentioned then suggest a way you can help bring connection and comfort to our patients. We are open to all ideas! You can volunteer remotely or in person.
If this post calls to you then reach out by responding and Kris, our volunteer coordinator, will get in touch. She will explain the onboarding process and all the roles. We look forward to speaking with you!
If you have questions, you can reach out to Kris at kris.kelleher@amedisys.com or respond directly to this posting. We need you to be 16 and over for remote volunteering and over 18 for in person volunteering. You also need to be in the United States. For in person you will need a TB test, proof of MMR vaccination and a health clearance form. We pay for all the health requirements.
