Patient Volunteers provide support to patients and their families. The main purpose of patient volunteers is to provide relief to caregivers. You might sit with a patient while the caregiver runs errands, goes to the doctor or just takes a much-needed break.

About Hospice of Huntington
Location:
1101 6th Avenue, Huntington, WV 25701, US
Mission Statement
We believe the earlier we can help a patient with a terminal diagnosis, the more effective we can be. The patient and family are provided a full range of services from our medical staff, our CNAs, our social workers, our volunteers, and our grief counselors. We want to make sure that each patient is given the full benefit from the education, support and counseling services offered by the hospice team.
Description
Hospice is a special way of caring for patients diagnosed with a terminal illness when nothing more can be done to cure the disease. It allows patients to live life to the fullest, to be in control and to make choices concerning the care they wish. Hospice's focus is to help patients be as pain and symptom free as possible so they can enjoy life surrounded by loved ones. Hospice of Huntington delivers quality care in the patient's home, nursing home, assisted-living facility or at our very own Hospice House
We believe in: Dignity, Choice, Compassion, and a Team approach to patient care
