Human Service Internships

Save to Favorites

Compassus Hospice offers undergraduate human service internship opportunities throughout Chester and Delaware counties. Interns are trained to provide physical, psychosocial, and spiritual support to the hospice patient and family. Interns visit with our patients to provide socialization, companionship, respite care, and helping caregivers with errands. As an integral member of the hospice interdisciplinary team, the intern’s interventions relieve patients’ symptoms of depression and anxiety by offering interactive music, reading to patients, leisure activities and expressive art and writing activities. In addition to patient care, intern’s responsibilities often include volunteer recruitment, program planning and community outreach activities.

To us, hospice care is not about the end of life, it is about inspiring life - making each moment meaningful.
