Hospice

The spirit of hospice volunteering is borne from a genuine desire to give comfort, peace, and care to patients, caregivers, and families during the end of life. Our volunteers participate in a wide variety of areas including companionship, direct patient care and bereavement support for patients and families of the Hospice Program. Our volunteers also donate their talents in clerical work, sewing, knitting, crocheting and gardening. As a hospice volunteer, you become part of a person’s life when you are needed most.

Cancer Center

Do you have a passion for helping cancer patients through their journey? Here, patients and family members will receive personalized support from trained volunteers – many, themselves survivors – who provide patients with vital information for understanding cancer, integrative care, managing day to day through treatment and recovery, and finding the emotional, mental and spiritual support they need.

Paws for Patients/Therapy Pet Program

Do you have a warm-hearted pet who would enjoy visiting with patients, guests, and associates? Paws for Patients therapy teams brighten the days of those at St. Elizabeth through their cuddles and joyful demeanor. All teams are required to be certified through Pet Partners.
