Our most rewarding volunteer experience.
Since ancient times, it has been a compassionate practice to be present for another through the dying experience. This principle continues as the basic foundation of how we embrace end-of-life. The Vigil Volunteer provides support and guidance at the bedside of the hospice patient, providing an invaluable gift to one who may have otherwise died alone. Our Vigil Volunteers may share music, prayer or simply their presence through this time.
You must be okay with receiving calls at the last minute. This does not mean you must be available, simply willing to receive the request.
If you feel the call to serve in this capacity, we welcome your willingness to serve. Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, at 912-427-3163

Mission Statement
Our mission is enriching life.
Heartland Hospice is dedicated to providing patients with care wherever they consider home. Whether care is desired in the home a patient has lived in for years, a skilled nursing center or an assisted living facility, we tailor our caregiving to fit the patient's and family's unique needs.
Heartland's caregivers enrich our patients' lives and provide support by developing individualized care plans, setting goals, encouraging personal choices, working together in caregiving decisions and supporting meaningful experiences. Our caregivers help manage pain and symptoms, enabling patients to live life as fully and comfortably as possible. Social workers and spiritual counselors create a comforting environment in which patients and families are able to share their thoughts, hopes and concerns. And special bereavement programs provide emotional support to patients and families who need help coping. Our volunteers work side by side with hospice professionals in providing comfort and care when they are needed most.
Description
Heartland Hospice supports the patient and family wherever they are in their health care journey, and upholds the patient's and family's wishes, goals and values. At Heartland, we help preserve our patients' dignity, show them the respect that they richly deserve and provide compassionate care through our Caring Promises.
