Join us as a Bilingual Hospice Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Heartland Hospice Volunteer: After excellent training hospice volunteers visit our patients in their homes to listen, talk, and comfort. No hands-on care is required.

Support for patients: This can include visiting, reading, taking walks, writing letters, bringing music, even massage therapy for volunteers with the necessary skills.

Family members also appreciate a visit from a compassionate friend who understands what they are going through.
