Freindly, compassionate volunteers visit with our patients in their own home - that may be in a house, nursing home, asissted living facility - throughout the five counites we serve. Volunteers provde respite to tired caregivers in the home - allowing them to go out for a few hours to get a break, go shopping, or go to a doctor's appointment. You can also choose to visit patients within our Hospice House on Eisenhower Drive. Volunteers provide friendship and companionship, laughter and love. Lots of training will be provided. You just need a heart to help.

We are the original hospice in our community - founded by volunteers in 1979. We now serve Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long and Effingham conites. It is our continued honor and privilege to provide inpatient care at our beloved Hospice House; bereavement support to any child, teen or adult at no charge; symptom relief for those with serious illness through palliative care; and education and support to family caregivers - long before they need hospice care.
