Bridgeway Healthcare & Hospice

We are looking for volunteers who want to make a difference in someone's life. There are very few limitations on what qualifies someone to volunteer with us. From visiting patients at home, nursing homes, or assisted living to making calls to our families, sending birthday cards, or helping with clerical duties in our office. We are in desperate need of individuals who are willing to sew memory bears for our bereaved families. These bears are made out of clothing from their loved ones. We also have bereavement opportunities for those individuals who have lost a loved one and would like to visit with some of our families who have already lost their family member. If someone has a special talent, we can use you. Some examples include: cutting/styling hair, sewing, love of yard work, massage therapy, or cooking a hot meal for a patient/family. If you are a student in need of community service hours/intenrship for school, let us help you reach your goal. The opportunities are endless for those interested in becoming a volunteer with us. We will not specify how often or how many hours you give. We allow our volunteers to set their availability and the type of help they are willing to give. All volunteers are given a orientation and also provided with on-going education and training.

Mission Statement

The mission of Bridgeway Hospice is to provide individualized care to patients with a life-limiting illness by empowering the patient and family to live with dignity and comfort. Our goal is to provide support and care through spiritual, emotional, and physical involvement.

Description

Here at Bridgeway Hospice we see hospice as a ministry instead of just a job we do. We believe hospice should not be a cookie cut type of care, but should be individualized for each patient and their families. Our compassionate staff know how important this time is for our patients and their families and understand we only get one chance to get it right when it comes to their hospice experience. Hospice patients should have the right to continue seeing their physicians who are treating them for unrelated illnesses and should also be able to continue medications related to these illnesses. This is the philosophy we embrace when we are given the opportunity to care of each one of our patients.
