Our Tuck-in Program is an opportunity for you to use your talents while helping others. The program is based on the premise that those who are the caregivers of our patients need support and you will be the one to give them the priceless gifts of your time and attention.
On Thursdays you will make phone calls to patients or their loved ones to make sure they have enough medical supplies for the weekend, remind them of the availability of our On-Call Team on the weekend, and offer kind words in thoughtful support of our patients and family members. Calls can be made from home or from the hopsice office.
Each patient and caregiver's journey is a unique experience - and we are there to offer information, resources and support through these trying times.
If you have a desire to help others while using your gifts of imagination and desire please give us a call.

Mission Statement
Serving People With Compassion and Dignity
Description
COMPASSIONATE ABOUT CARE. passionate about life.
At Good Shepherd Hospice, we believe that health care is more than just a diagnosis and a treatment. It's a daily exercise in making this moment...this today...the very best it can be. We're here to help our patients achieve that goal - physically, mentally, spiritually...and for whatever that means individually.
We believe that in the passing of a person’s life, there are also extraordinary opportunities for compassion, reconciliation, spiritual healing, and renewal.
Our Volunteers play a vital role in our Hospice program. From working in the office, to creating special projects at home, to visiting to provide companionship and ease lonliness, Good Shepherd Hospice Volunteers make special moments happen again and again for the patients and families we serve.
