Help provide care to patients in their final days and hours. Patients who receive vigil care are actively dying and to do not have access to the presence of family or friends. Vigil care volunteers provide a comforting presence and the assurance that the person will not have to die alone. All Hospice of Northeast Georgia Medical Center vigil care volunteers are trained in ways to provide a supportive, companioning presence at the bedside--be that through reading, talking, or simply offering a peaceful and comforting presence.

Mission Statement

Hospice of Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) is committed to improving and supporting quality of life in all that we do.

Description

Hospice care began in the 1960’s as a volunteer movement, and volunteerism continues to be the foundation of modern-day hospice. Hospice volunteers are a part of every aspect of a hospice program.

Our volunteers have served families in Northeast Georgia for 30 years. The volunteer role is one of the most tender and significant parts of our program. Our volunteers help run our office, do community outreach and keep vigil at the bedside of our patients. Some utilize their own unique skill-sets to provide very specialized volunteer services. Volunteers are the heartbeat of our program.

We welcome volunteers from all walks of life, and anyone age 18 years or older may apply. We are committed to find a place for you in our program and to make your volunteer experience successful.
