Do you have a musical talent that you would like to share with the community? Music has been proven to be theraputetic to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. When music is intregrated into end of life care for hospice patients, music therpay can provide physcial, emotional, spiritual and cognitive support.
Calling all guitarists, pianists, singers or any other soothing musical talent to help enrich the end of life care for our patients. Gateway Hospice is looking for creative, deidicated and musically driven volunteers to visit with our patients where ever they call home- assisted-living facilities, hospitals, skilled nursing homes, and/or personal homes.
We are looking for volunteers all over the Greater Pittsburgh Region- including Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington & Westmoreland counties. Gateway will work with you to accomodate your specific volunteer talents and interests.
Please contact Amylyn Verrone, Community Development Coordinator, to discuss how to join the Gateway Hospice Volunteer Team - 412-737-0969 or averrone@gatewayhospice.com

Mission Statement
"To provide quality end of life carethrough listening and education and responding to the needs of those we serve, our community and team."
Description
Gateway Hospice volunteers are the heart of our organization. Volunteers do a variety of different things that help promote our mission of providing quality end of life care. From providing a listening ear as a companion volunteer, to providing respite for the caregiver to go grocery shopping or to their own medical appointment, to managing special projects in our North Hills office as "behind the scenes" support. Volunteers also can get involved with our bereavement program, making phone calls to bereaved family and friends. Music and art are a powerful way volunteers can connect with our patients, especially those with dementia. Pets are welcomed to pay friendly visits to our patients residing in nursing homes. The possibilities go on and on.
