Avalon Hospice is looking for people who want to volunteer as in home patient companion volunteers. As an in home patient care volunteer you will be able to interact with patients and families on a more personal level and will impact both patients and families in a positive way as they near their end of life. Hospice care is a special kind of care, and the in home patient companion volunteer is a special cog in the wheel of care provided to hospice patients. Families benefit from the intervention of the Volunteer who is willing to spend time with the family member which allows the loved ones to get shopping done without the worry of leaving their ill family member at home alone. Please join our team and make someone's day a little brighter! Contact Susan Burdorf, Volunteer Coordinator, at 615 889-5995 or by email at sburdorf@avalon-hospice.com; WE NEED YOU!
