Hospice Volunteers Make a Critical Difference
Volunteers provide important services to the community. Whether it’s providing companionship to a person in the final months or weeks of life, offering support to family members and caregivers, providing assistance in the office or helping with community outreach, the contributions of volunteers are an essential part of Interim HealthCare Hospice.
As a volunteer, you will also have access to ongoing educational opportunities to ensure you feel comfortable with your role. Hospice education covers:
- Philosophy of hospice care
- Services offered by hospice
- Physical, emotional, social and spiritual issues encountered at the end of life
