HALCYON HOSPICE is seeking caring, compassionate individuals to provide companionship, a listening ear, a friendly face, art, music, or just relief for a family member for a few hours a month. Most of our volunteers came to give a blessing of their time to people seeking to live the remainder of their days in comfort and dignity; however, most agree that they were the ones who were blessed by the individuals they came to serve. All volunteers receive free training and, to safeguard patients and volunteers, background checks, drug testing and health screeing is required by the Department of Health.
A statement from our Executive in charge :
We do well to remember that we exist to meet the needs of those we are privileged to serve. When we do this without fail, with smiles on our faces, and with genuine compassion and concern for those we serve, we make a small payment against the debt of gratitude we owe to each community that we are privileged to be part of.
"To change the world we must be good to those who cannot repay us"
Pope Francis
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN OTHERS!
BE THE HANDS AND FEET!
PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS NEED, WAIT ONE DAY, AND IF YOU ARE STILL FEELING CALLED TO HELP NEIGHBORS IN YOUR AREA, PLEASE CONTACT ME @864.THREE.TWO.FIVE.7452 if you are truly passionate about helping people.
IF you don't feel that you can commit to, AT THE LEAST, 2 HOURS a week, then, this is probably not the right opportunity for you. Many of our patients and caregivers really get excited about the prospect of a visitor or a small break and appreciate consistency.

Mission Statement
When someone you love is living with a terminal illness, quality of life matters more than ever. Hospice care is NOT limited to the last few days of a patient's life. Many hospice patients live well beyond the 6-month diagnosis. We deliver physical, emotional, social,and spiritual support to our patients and their family members throughout the final stages of illness. At Halcyon Hospice, caring for the terminally ill is a labor of love that requires a special person with just the right touch. If you have a passion for helping others, consider becoming a hospice volunteer. YOU can make a profound difference in the lives of patients and their loved ones.
Description
Halcyon Hospice provides in-home care for people with life limiting illnesses. We also strive to provide a positive, supportive environment for their families as well. We believe that hospice is a gift and this time in the life of a family can be an opportunity for spiritual and emotional bonding.
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life. Whether you contribute your time and talents directly with patients or prefer to work behind the scenes, we invite you to become a member of a dedicated group of compassionate caregivers who serve as vital members of our hospice team.
