The Community Hospice invites you to consider offering your support to Hospice patients and their families through our Volunteer Program

Hospice volunteers provide several services and fill various roles.

• Volunteers can provide companionship to patients through listening, reading, music, prayer, holding a hand, and just "being there".
• Hospice volunteers also frequently provide instrumental support to patients and their families by offering respite care, which allows the patient’s primary caregiver a chance to run errands or have an afternoon off.
• Volunteers can also provide support at the time of death and during bereavement.
• The most important gift volunteers bring is being there to listen and to honor patients’ stories. It is a very rewarding experience.
