Our busy Hospice office is seeking individuals willing to volunteer their time helping our office staff with general office duties. Office duties could include filing, sorting mail, helping with phone calls, Bereavement mailings and phone calls, Xeroxing and much more. Experience in an office is helpful but not necessary. This is a great opportunity for all types of individuals such as retirees who have time on their hands and want something meaningful to do or high school students wanting to complete community service hours. If you are unemployed at the moment and want experience in an office setting this volunteer opportunity would help you gain some office experience. All volunteers must go through our hospice training, submit to a drug screening, criminal background check and we offer the Hepatitis B vaccination which is optional. All medical testing and background testing is paid for Evercare Hospice and Palliative Care.

CHAP accreditation recognizes that OPTUM meets the industry's highest nationally recognized standards. Less than 15 percent of all US hospice agencies are CHAP accredited.

Here are the benefits and services our patients could receive:
- Involvement of an OPTUM Hospice or Palliative Care Physician
- Unrestricted access to the kind of therapies patients need, including certain life-prolonging therapies, such as radiation or chemotherapy
- Coordinated care with the patient's physician
- Assistance navigating the health care system and Medicare/Medicaid certification
- 24-hour-a-day on-call support
- Pain and symptom management and control
- Psychological and spiritual support
- Support and education for patients' loved ones
At the heart of hospice is the belief that everyone has the right to dignity and freedom from pain at the end of life. This is why we are dedicated to creating personalized care plans, which give patients the specific care they need and deserve.
OPTUM Palliative & Hospice Care is Medicare-approved, which means that our services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, military health plans and most private insurance companies.
