They have such a welcoming attitude. and they are so appreciative it makes me glad to be giving my time when i can to an organization that makes me feel at home and from day one have felt like part of the heartland family. they always have a positive attitude about everything and the patients are always happy to have you even if it is only to talk i would not rather volunteer anywhere else. they have helped me grow as a person more than i have helped them which is more payment than i could ever ask.

It has been a wonderful experience so far. The experience at heartland hospice has given me an opportunity to meet wonderful people and hear about their life experiences. The experience was fulfilling and I look forward to meet more people and learn about their interesting stories.

I loved volunteering at Heartland Hospice. At first I thought it would be sad to work there but it is actually a very rewarding experience. The people at Heartland really help you feel comfortable volunteering there by training you and easing you into it. I would still be volunteering there if I didn't have to move.

I have gained great satisfaction through my volunteer opportunity at Heartland Hospice. They offer a comprehensive training program to assist their volunteers along the way. They have been very respectful of my time and personal schedule. And, have always asked me ahead of time if I am comfortable with the positions they are asking me to fill. It has been a very educational and rewarding opportunity for me and I look forward to continuing my volunteer service with them. Lisa Higgins

Volunteering with Heartland Hospice is not JUST gaining community service hours, or keeping busy during your summer vacation- it's a whole lot more than that. Even though I'm going to school to become a nurse, anyone can volunteer. Heartland Hospice gives recognition to their volunteers and they consider you a part of the team. Being a volunteer someone will always say "thanks for volunteering with us" or "it's so good to have you here." Nothing is more welcoming than making people happy, whether it's the team or our hospice patients. Spending time with our patients lets them know that we care and we want them to feel enriched. We want our patients to know that we're not there just to "do it" we're there because we want to be. We show compassion and do what it takes to make a positive difference in their lives. At the end of the day, it's a breath of fresh air for them, and for me!
