Do you like hearing people's stories? Would you like to be part of a project to preserve our elders' oral histories? We need a special volunteer who would be willing to help with the recordings of our patients' stories by transcribing those recrodings into small memory books for their families. You can come into our office, either in Lenexa or Independence, or you can volulnteer from home. If you have good listening skills, computer experience and an interest in the lives of others, we have a place for you. We provide all the training you will need, not just for the oral history project, but for a deeper understanding of what end-of-life care is all about and why the stories of our patients matter.

Serving People With Compassion and Dignity
Description
COMPASSIONATE ABOUT CARE. passionate about life.
At Good Shepherd Hospice, we believe that health care is more than just a diagnosis and a treatment. It's a daily exercise in making this moment...this today...the very best it can be. We're here to help our patients achieve that goal - physically, mentally, spiritually...and for whatever that means individually.
We believe that in the passing of a person’s life, there are also extraordinary opportunities for compassion, reconciliation, spiritual healing, and renewal.
Our Volunteers play a vital role in our Hospice program. From working in the office, to creating special projects at home, to visiting to provide companionship and ease lonliness, Good Shepherd Hospice Volunteers make special moments happen again and again for the patients and families we serve.
