Musical Visitor ~ Songs From the Heart! ~Flexible!

Volunteers are the HEART of Heartland Hospice! Do you know how to play an instrument and/or enjoy singing?

Musician volunteers enrich the lives of seniors by sharing their talents during scheduled visits with our hospice patients. In addition to providing music, volunteers offer much-needed socialization and one-on-one support.

Service hours are extremely flexible and scheduled according to your availability and location. Volunteer hours are flexible and most volunteers spend 2-4 hours a month visiting. Patients are located throughout Washtington County.

Musician volunteers have the power to bring the greatest gifts to our patients’ lives... uplifting music, a smile and reassurance that comes with knowing they are genuinely cared for! If you have a little extra time to give to share your love of melody, and have a big heart, contact us today to learn more about this unique volunteer opportunity!
