ORGANIZATION: Cima Hospice: Part of the Elara Caring Network

  • 33 people are interested

CIMA Hospice is offering Volunteer opportunities to work with the community. The hours are flexible, and evening, daytime and weekend opportunities are available, with both indirect and direct time with patients and families, depending on your interests and availability. Students are also welcome to volunteer. Our patients are eager to have friends to play cards, talk to, listen to music, do crafts, read to, and laugh with. No two patients are the same, Hospice is not a destination but rather a community that assists in the end of life care of those ready to prepare. Talk to us more about what Hospice really means, and how we as a community can DeBunk the false stigma, and help others.

  • We are specifically looking for people who want to spend time with our patients. A lot of them are lonely, and just looking for someone to come by and talk, watch TV, or play a game with them. There is nothing better than spending time with someone who just wants some company.

    • When you visit is up to you, but we recommend that you visit at least once a week. This will allow you to get to know the person you are visiting, and it will make a great impact on them.
    • We have patients all over the city, so don't worry about having to drive too far. I will work with you, and find someone near you.

Mission Statement

Cima Hospice enables people to live fully and comfortably, while coping with a terminal illness through a holistic, interdisciplinary team approach, that also supports the family and develops an informed caring community.

Description

Cima Hospice was founded in 2006 by two Texas entrepreneurs. Since then, it has grown to 10 agencies providing compassionate end-of-life care serving Texas in San Antonio, New Braunfels/Seguin/San Marcos, McAllen/Rio Grande Valley, El Paso, Tyler/Longview, Texarkana, Houston, and Corpus Christi and serving Oklahoma in Sallisaw, Poteau, Muskogee, Tulsa, and Pryor.

In October of 2011, Jordan Health Services and Cima Hospice came together to provide a continuum of quality home care by combining their home health services, community/provider services and hospice services. This coming together created 40 locations serving close to 15,000 patient/clients daily throughout the state of Texas and Arkansas.

In October of 2013, Jordan and Cima joined forces with Healthcare Innovations Private Services, the largest provider of Medicaid home health services in the state of Oklahoma including three additional hospice locations in Sallisaw, Poteau and Muskogee. Jordan acquired PrimeCare Home Health, a leading home health services provider based in Louisiana with locations in Hammond, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Ruston, and Columbia, in December of 2014.

Together companies each day will fulfill the personal care, case management, skilled nursing, pediatric, and hospice needs of approximately 26,000 patients in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
