St. Croix Hospice, providing hospice care to families living in WI:
Hospice is a program focused on improving quality of life and comfort for patients living with advanced illness, their caregiver(s), and families. Hospice provides pain and symptom relief, medical attention, and emotional and spiritual support from an experienced and compassionate hospice clinical team , right in the comfort each patient’s own home .
What we’re looking for:
We are looking for students seeking service learning requirements or volunteer experience with a demographic of people nearing end-of-life. Volunteering with St. Croix Hospice is a great choice for anyone studying the emotional, spiritual, or physical effects of advanced illness. We love to partner with classes studying such material to provide students with real-life experience. Hands-on experience through companionship for hospice patients is invaluable in shaping a student’s worldview and perspective. All of our volunteers receive comprehensive training and support through local Volunteer Coordinators at our offices in Delavan, Madison, Baraboo, Eau Claire and Platteville.

Description
St. Croix Hospice offers end-of-life care choice and advocacy to residents, families, and caregivers who live in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. An award-winning organization, St. Croix Hospice has generated a reputation of quality care through a team approach where focus is on the patient, caregiver, and family. It is this patient centered mission and organic word-of-mouth prompting that has led St. Croix Hospice to serve a multi-state area.

"We will continue to reach out to patients that are currently not being cared for and will never turn away anyone that is unable to pay for hospice services," says Heath Bartness, CEO.
Along with all designated hospice diagnoses and in compliance with state and federal regulations, St. Croix Hospice is able to expertly manage and bring comfort care to end-stage diseases, wherever a patient considers home.
