Do you love to visit people and make them feel important? We are in need of a volunteer in the Lenoir City, TN area who would like to brighten a hospice patient's day by visiting them a few times each month. These visits are just casual, friendly visits to make our hospice patients feel important and cared for.
For the safety of our patients, we do require all volunteers to have a background check, drug test, tb skin test and have training/orientation. All this is provided to you as a benefit of becoming an Avalon Hospice Volunteer.
This is a wonderful way to get involved in your community and to enrich the remaining days of our hospice patients.
