Hospice volunteering is one of the more selfless opportunities out there. We serve the terminally ill population by visiting them in their home or facility, providing social support and a caring touch. Our volunteers do not provide direct care, meaning we do not assist with transfers, help with the bathroom, or feed patients. We are simply there to show we care, talk about their faimly, or participate in a hobby if they are still able. If you would like to give back to your community in this way, please consider attending our upcoming get-together on January 17th, no commitment to join is necessary, we will simply talk about the role of a volunteer and how your support would contribute to the excellent plan of care we prodide to families. Email pikonena@hospiceadvantage.com or call (248) 440-1301 to RSVP, I will have a light breakfast available and want to make sure I have enough!

Mission Statement
The Colleagues of Compassus Hospice are committed to keeping The Hospice Promise by delivering the highest quality of care, serving the needs of patients and families and spreading the stories of hospice to those with whom they come into contact.
Description
Most volunteers feel personally rewarded through offering their time, energy and compassion when they see how much they are able to help patients and families. Further benefits frequently experienced by our volunteers include:
- Greater self-knowledge from insights gained from relationships with patients, their families and from the hospice volunteer training.
- Spiritual growth from supporting a person through the final days while increasing the awareness of their own sense of spiritual values.
The people that make up Compassus are dedicated to compassionate care, clinical excellence and providing comfort and support to patients and their families with end-of-life issues. This includes our volunteers.
At Compassus, we believe that every life is unique and deserves a meaningful and personal final journey. Perhaps you’ve experienced hospice services with a member of your family, or are looking for a meaningful way to volunteer your time. If you believe that giving your time can enhance the lives of others, we encourage you to explore volunteer opportunities with Compassus.
