Hospice patient volunteers enter the lives of a family at a time when they are most vulnerable, and provide a listening ear and companionship. They hold hands, they listen and they provide support to both the patient and family while on their hospice journey. They provide companionship to the patient, and respite opportunities for the family caregivers.

Description
The Holy Redeemer Hospice Volunteer Program exists to support and expand the services provided to Holy Redeemer Hospice patients and their caregivers by the professional staff. Patient volunteers provide a social component which can normalize the experience and bolster the emotional support of both family and patient at this vulnerable time when illness can be an isolating factor. Office volunteers provide much needed assistance with mailings, records and other clerical responsibilities, freeing up additional time for staff to provide direct patient care.
