Volunteers serve as members of the hospice team by sharing their skills and interest with our patients and their families. This may involve just sitting and listening to a patient in his/her home or in an assisted living facility. It may involve singing or playing music for a patient, doing a craft, reading scripture, a story or book, or just being a friend to someone who cannot get out to see others. What you do as a volunteer is so very important to these patients and their families.

Volunteers will not be asked to do anything that they are uncomfortable doing. Our volunteer coordinator will work with you to accommodate your schedule. You communicate when you are available and what you are comfortable doing. We look for win/win situations... happy volunteers and therefore happy patients!

We have a volunteer program which is supervised by our dedicated Volunteer Coordinator. Many people want to give back and help others. Volunteers help in many ways.

We do our best to match you with a patient/family in your local community.

Volunteers will assist in the office by answering the phone, relaying messages, copying forms, and assisting with other responsibilities in the office. Computer skills are NOT required. Usually an administrative assistant or director will be in the office. Other hospice staff are in and out of the office during the day.

This is a low stress environment with opportunities to read or do other tasks while volunteering. Volunteer opportunities are available for half day or full days, Monday through Friday. You may volunteer once a week or several times a week if desired.
