Thank you for considering sharing your caring with hospice patients and their care-partners!
OUR Hospice Volunteer Services Program can put your telephone talents to good use!
We are searching for someone who has the ability, and the heart, to help the local office make weekly calls to all our hospice patients and/or their care-PARTNERS.
Every Thursday, around mid-morning, a Telephone Support Volunteers calls our Hospice patients and/or caregivers to ensure they have enough supplies for the weekend.
In addition, when there is a weather emergency, our volunteers may call some patients and/or caregivers to ensure their needs are met. Our Telephone Support Volunteers also help make birthday, Christmas, and other special occasion calls!
New volunteers are mentored by the Volunteer Coordinator until they feel comfortable and confident in providing assistance independently. Volunteers are never expected to assist with the personal care of patients and are assigned based on their interests and what tasks they feel they can easily accomplish.
We work with you to make the most of your talents and time! If you have a heart for volunteering, please contact us to find out more about this and other volunteer opportunities.
