Hospice Volunteers

Our hospice volunteers are compassionate individuals dedicated to providing support and care to patients at the end of life and to grieving families. Our hospice volunteers have a meaningful impact on the patients they care for, and the families that they serve.

Comprehensive training is provided to new volunteers and the volunteers can take advantage of on-going support offered by the hospice staff and at monthly meetings and periodic workshops. Volunteers are needed to visit day and evening hours during the week and on weekends.

Hospice volunteers play an indispensable role in enabling hospice to offer the best care possible for patients living with life-limiting illness, their families, and caregivers. By sharing their time, energy, and expertise, our volunteers bring compassion and caring to the lives of those in need.
