If you are compassionate and have a desire to help others, becoming a Compassus Hospice Volunteer has the perfect opportunity for you.
Our volunteers give their time, talent and hearts generously and unselfishly to touch a life of an individual in their final chapter - yet often the volunteers feel that they receive much more than they give.
Volunteers assist with a variety of activities:
Be a friend to patients by sharing hobbies, reading to them or play games
Help caregivers by giving them an opportunity to go out while you sit with their loved one
Provide emotional support by allowing the patient and/or family member to know they are not alone
- Perfect for retired Nurses or CNA's
- Excellent opportunity for pre-med and nursing students
